Are you ready for another pumpkin recipe? After all, it is pumpkin month, right? Isn't October pumpkin month? Well, it is at my house. As a result, I've had pumpkin on my mind. I recently caught a glimpse of some pumpkin scones at one of my favorite local coffee shops. I looked but didn't sample the day I saw them. That's always dangerous because the thought of those scones got stuck in my brain in the same way the song, Mama Mia, just won't leave me after I hear it. You know what I mean, don't you? Scones are a funny baked good. They seem like a cross between a biscuit and a muffin. At their best, scones have a crisp exterior with a soft, tender crumb. Scones are lovely with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Making scones is surprisingly easy. The one key to successful scones is not to overwork your batter. Just stir until the mixture just comes together. Freezing unbaked scones makes it possible to have a warm scone with your morning coffee any time
Creating yummy food, a nurturing home, and a well-lived life.
