I’ve got to admit, the thought of making scones always seemed a little daunting to me. I always heard they were dry and kind of tasteless. Not so! I’ve added a great twist to a regular pumpkin scone by adding some toffee and topping it with a mouth watering Biscoff glaze! It’s the breakfast pastry your coffee or tea has been asking for! I can’t stop, won’t stop making these babies.
It’s an easy recipe that gives a truly artisan look to your breakfast plate. It’s perfect for dunking in some hot tea or a little milk though it doesn’t really need it. If you want to learn how to make this impressive afternoon tea staple, click on the video to get a step by step guide!

Mmmm looks delicious. My scones always come out like ROCKS..tasty rocks, but rocks just the same. Will have to try your version. I’m so glad I found your Blog! 🙂
I’ve heard the same from others regarding scones but I’m guessing the pumpkin might lend a really great moisture that makes them a little softer. I hope you like them and so glad you found me too!
