Recipe of the Week!

Pumpkin Scones
Here is recipe one of two in pumpkin tasting. I made these for the BES birthday breakfast last week. They were quite a hit. I was not impressed, however. I used the recipe below, but I doubled it and used half whole wheat flour and half regular all purpose. I got about 30 scones from the double recipe. So if you like pumpkin and you like scones...I think this recipe is for you :)

Ingredients:

For the Scones:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 1 large egg
For the Powdered Sugar Glaze:
  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
For the Spiced Glaze:
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
