Scones filled with yummy pumpkin flavors really have me excited for fall. Perfect with coffee for breakfast. Of course they are perfect with coffee for dessert. I suppose you could have them without coffee too! The spice glaze was so delish and the actual scone was one of the best I have had.

The hubby was amazed at how easy it really was to make homemade scones at home. He said they were quite simple minus the trip to the store for eggs (I guess I might have ate the last egg without telling him, lol).

  1. Inwasnsomexcited for these, but they came out looking the way they went it. They came out flat and didn’t puff up at all. Super disappointed.

  2. These might have been good if 1/4 tsp. nutmeg was used instead of 1/2 tsp. THAT’s too much and it made these bitter.

  3. Can’t wait to try this! I have a feeling these will go over well with the family this fall!
