Pumpkin Spice Scones

Fall is one of those times of year that just makes me happy to be alive. I love the brisk air, the cinnamon smells, the homegrown pumpkins, and bonfires—and of course, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING! There’s just something cozy and comforting about baking during this season, and these Pumpkin Spice Scones are the perfect way to celebrate it. Warm, lightly sweet, and full of those classic fall spices, they pair perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or cider. Get ready to fill your kitchen with the scent of fall!

I am not a very good scone maker, and I’m not a very good pie crust maker for the same reason: I can’t figure out how to cut in butter ?

Every time I try, I just somehow over mix it or something, and the dough gets way too wet and sticky!

Well, luckily these pumpkin scones didn’t get the best of me even though I am not a professional butter-cutter. They were fail proof!

I did make quite a mess, but the end results were very satisfying.

What I liked about these scones was how many autumn spices they had. Instead of just adding cinnamon to the pumpkin puree, it also called for nutmeg, allspice, and cloves! They smelled amazing! next time I might also add some vanilla or almond extract.

We made two batches so that there was enough to share. I dipped them and placed them into my new Wilson Pans (which I love and use for everything from freezer meals to casseroles) and we headed out the door to share with neighbors.

This was a wonderful recipe and would be a fun recipe to make with the kids. And the taste? Absolutely delicious—soft on the inside, perfectly spiced, and just the right amount of sweet. Whether you’re sharing them with friends or savoring one with your morning coffee, they’re a fall treat worth making again and again!

I took way too many photos, so I am going to dump the rest here! :) enjoy!
