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!
Pumpkin 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!

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.

These look delicious!! I love scones but have never made a pumpkin variety. I love that you put white chocolate on top – yum!
Anne says
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).Anne xx
