Delicious Pumpkin Scones

 Hi friends,

 If you are looking for a yummy fall treat to bake for your family these pumpkin scones will be the perfect fit!
This delicious recipe comes from my aunt J who is an incredible cook and loves to bake up yummy treats to share with family and friends. A few years ago I planned and hosted a surprise tea party for my grandmothers 85th birthday and of course a tea party wouldn't be complete without yummy food! My aunt happily baked up these amazing scones along with her exposition scones (recipe and more info about the tea party can be found on my instagram @thishomeschoolerslife.   ) for the party.  They are always a big hit & devoured quickly ;)  I knew I had to get her recipe to bake them with my kiddos  :)  


Pumpkin Scones: 

2 Cups Flour

7 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon Cloves

1/4 teaspoon Ginger

*Mix all the above ingredients & cut in: 6 Tablespoons Cold Butter

* In a new bowl combine: 

1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin

3 Tablespoons half and half

1 large egg

*Combine ingredients into large mixing bowl. 

Form gently into a ball. Pat out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into wedges or rectangles using a pizza cutter/slicer.  Place onto a sprayed/greased cookie sheet or on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 1-2 inches apart.

*Bake for 14-16 minutes at 425 degrees (15minutes seems to be our perfectly baked golden number ;) ) 

*Remove from oven, carefully move onto cookie rack to cool. 

*Serve with home made Devonshire cream & homemade jam :)  (recipe for Devonshire cream here: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/easy-homemade-devonshire-cream-recipe.html

Enjoy!! :)

How to choose the right curriculum:

   Lets chat curriculum options: First things first, I feel like it needs to be said that there is no perfect curriculum that will fit every child's needs. We've tried multiple curriculum's during our homeschooling years, the best advice I can give is to try some out and see which your kids respond to. Don’t be afraid to take your time learning which are the best fit, seek lots of advice from other friends and fellow homeschoolers as well as check out curriculum in person before you buy whenever possible because it is the best option to really know what you're purchasing.

They may not work for a lot of reasons such as: not fitting what you need or you and/or your kids may just hate it. Don’t fret or worry though as we’ve all been there and it's really not the end of the world, it will all work out! Take your time and try a few things out before you decide t...
