It is officially sweater weather, which means you can eat as many sweet treats as you want! Baking is undeniably enjoyable, whether you are doing it alone or involving the whole family. Get into the fall spirit and serve these delicious pumpkin scones at your next gathering, inspired by Sally’s Baking Addiction!

Items You Need

Before you begin, you will need a baking pan, mixing bowls, whisk, and measuring spoons. We also recommend our flour scoop and an aesthetic way to display your treat! We suggest either one of our cutting boards or our wood glass cloche!

Ingredients

Although this recipe is straightforward, the ingredient list is longer than most of our recipes. The upside is that many of these ingredients are pantry must-haves and can be easily substituted! Maybe add chocolate chips and crushed walnuts, or skip on the glaze if you have an aversion to cream cheese!
