Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones

Mmmmm my first attempt at pumpkin scones was a delicious success...

I put the recipe together from several I found online.

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup brown sugar sugar
Heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract (I used a "vanilla, butter & nut" flavor)
3/4 cup homemade pumpkin puree
Splash of milk (2 - 3 tablespoon?)
1 stick of unsalted butter


Cut butter into cubes, then sit it in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest. Mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in another. After dry ingredients are mixed, work the butter in using your hands. Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Batter will be dry. On a floured surface, form batter into a large circle and cut (like a pizza) into 8 pieces. Place the pieces onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375* for 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

Icing
I used a simple icing for these made from powdered sugar, milk and a little pumpkin pie spice. Mix roughly 1 cup of powdered sugar with about 2 tablespoons of milk. Add a dash of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Drizzle over cooled scones.

Enjoy!
