Ingredients
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 egg
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 teaspoon cloves
- 1/3 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fire to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all your dry ingredients.
- In another container combine the beaten egg, molasses and pumpkin well.
- Using a pastry blender or two knives criss-crossed, cut in your butter or margarine. Whichever you use, make sure it is cold and firm so it pebbles nicely in your flour.
- Add in the pumpkin mixture, then when it's somewhat combined, throw in the chocolate chips.
- Working in the flour gently with your hands is easier and tends to lessen the rubbery texture of your scones. Roll into a log. Cut the log into three equal pieces. Take each piece and flatten into a circle with the palm of your hand, this is such an easy way to make almost perfect circles without overworking the dough. Cut each circle into 6 equal pieces and place on either a well greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes, until the bottoms are nicely browned.
