Introduction

Great for fall! Original recipe calls for 8 scones, but I cut them in half to make 16 - that way I get the taste of a great scone, but at a more reasonable size. I also use half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour to add some fiber Great for fall!

    These were good. I used fresh, cooked pumpkin rather than canned and doubled the spices. The dough was a little moist, maybe because of the fresh pumpkin. Also, I cut the scone into 16 pieces because the recipe says it is 16 servings. - 10/2/09

    Very Good
    I made this last night and they were really good! I used 2% milk instead of half and half but they turned out fine. My icing wasn't thick enough and I couldn't figure out how to thicken it up. Other then that, they were YUMMY! - 11/2/13

    Very Good
    I used fresh pumpkin which meant dough was sticky and had to use more flour. I cut the glaze way down and only used a couple of tablespoons drizzled over the top. - 10/14/11
