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!! :)

Comprehensive Homeschool Resource List:

  Hello friends,  When I first began homeschooling I remember feeling so overwhelmed with all the choices, the stress and pressure of not knowing where to start and not wanting to make the wrong decisions or miss anything important. It was so much to try and sort through and I didn't know which direction was up. Thankfully I had several friends who had been homeschooling for several years share some of their wisdom with me, gave me tips and pointers and helped answer my questions. That was so invaluable to me as a newbie to homeschooling and I will always be so appreciative of their advice, encouragement and their time. It is my hope that this blog will be like a good friend to turn to when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed and need somewhere to turn to find some advice and encouragement. I don't have all the answers and I don't know all the tricks, tips or cool home-school hacks but I can share what I've learned from my experiences with you and hope you will fee...
