I decided to make these because I had left over pumpkin. I still have probably a cup left, which I will be making something else with. But these were quick to assemble, I didn't even have to get out my hand mixer! After I brushed on the egg wash, instead of using nuts and raisins, I put chocolate chips on top then lastly, I sprinkled sugar. These made my kitchen smell so good, like autumn. I've never even eaten a scone before, let alone bake them. So I wasn't really sure what to expect when I bit into a piece. I kind of thought it would be like a crunchy cookie. But these were soft and kind of dense, it was not too sweet, and the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon fills the nose with a delightful reminder of fall. I was supposed to cut them into pieces before baking, which I obviously didn't follow that step in the directions. I will try these again, but cut them before baking and see if the texture changes.
