Recipe Share: Pumpkin Scones

I've decided to get back into blogging again. :) It's been almost a year so there has been lots that has happened! I look forward to writing and sharing more.

My love for cooking has not dwindled though, so here's the latest recipe that we've tried with great success.

I used a whole medium sized Butternut pumpkin for this, if it becomes too "sticky" then add more flour.
