Nothing says “Good Morning!” than freshly baked scones. 

Scones are a favorite quick bread in Europe but very popular throughout the world. 

Now, add pumpkin and some autumn spices to create a new FALL favorite. 

It’s a quick and simple recipe – perfect for kids to help in following the directions. 

Add pure pumpkin gives these scones a nice flavor.

Make a flaky on the outside but soft in the middle scone. 

Using real butter gives the scones a buttery taste.

You can add an icing by mixing 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk or cream, along with 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
