Saturday Morning

What a way to start out my Saturday morning. It is 9:36 and i have cleaned my house, and sat down to a devotional and a hot scone. This is something i could get used to!

Pumpkin Scone:

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 Tablespoon freshly ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 cup canned pumpkin

3 Tablespoons half and half

1 large egg

6 Tablespoons cold butter chunks

Preheat oven to 425. Combine dry ingredients in food processor. Add butter chunks and pulse until blended. Combine wet ingredients in a bowl and once mixed fold in dry mixture. Pat out dough on a lightly floured surface, shape into a 9x3 rectangle. Cut into thirds and cut each square in half diagonally. Bake scones on a greased baking sheet for 15 minutes. Once the Scones are cool drizzle the first glaze on top.
