Fall is the perfect time for baking with pumpkin! I love scones and when I saw Anne @Domeblissity post for pumpkin scones, I knew I had to make some of my own!
I have a recipe for Cinnamon Chip Scones so I made some changes to that recipe. Instead of sour cream, I added 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.
I also added some ginger, allspice, cinnamon and cloves for a yummy flavor!
Make 2 circles of dough and cut into wedges.
Drizzle the baked scones with softened white chocolate, if desired!
Cinnamon Scones
by The Gunny Sack
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cold butter, sliced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
Mix together on low speed until about pea sized.
Add to bowl:
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix on low speed only until moistened. DO NOT over mix or scones will be rock hard!
Gather dough in a lump and gently knead 3 or 4 times. I did this in the bowl but you can do it on a lightly floured surface, if you prefer.
Divide dough in half and gently form into 2 circles on a greased cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges with a long, sharp, floured knife but DO NO separate the wedges.
Bake at 425°F for 14 to 16 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with softened white chocolate, if desired. Serve warm!

Hi, I'm Tonia from The Gunny Sack! As a wife and mother of three, I enjoy cooking, creating and capturing it all with my camera! Coffee, with a little chocolate now and then, keeps me happy.
Oh Tonia. You’re so nice. I still find it funny that you guys have pumpkin in a can. We probably have it here but I’ve never bought it. We eat pumpkins nearly as often as potato over here in Aus. Thanks for the shout out. Yours look delicious and I love the fact that you added those spices (AND the white chocolate LOL).

Perfect! I’m having an Autumn Victorian Tea soon and these will be great for my first course! Thanks for sharing with us!
That looks amazing – and so easy! Can you add these to your Etsy shop please??
Every year I put up about a 100 pounds of pumpkin. I am always looking for a way to use the 10. lbs. I usually have left over. These look so good I think I will take some pumpkin out of the freezer. Thank you for this recipe. By the way, I love the name The Gunny Sack.
