These look so yummy! I can't wait to try out the recipe. I've also stocked up on quite a bit of canned pumpkin. Would there happen to be a substitute for dried milk powder?
ReplyDeleteI would just leave it out. It won't make that much of a difference. I think it makes them a little crumblier and absorbs some of the moisture from the pumpkin.
DeleteThese look delicious! I'll try them tonight.
ReplyDeleteDi you make them?
DeleteI did -- really good! No word on adding the chocolate chips, though, so I added them to the dry ingredients after the butter was kneaded in. The dry milk is a great idea because the pumpkin is so wet that you don't want to add more liquid, but the dry milk adds the flavor and I think it would definitely make a difference in texture without it. I am always in awe of your ability to put things together so well and so quickly!
DeleteLooks great! I love cinnamon, but there's something about the smell and taste of cloves that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
ReplyDeleteLOVE clove!
DeleteHmmm I've actually spotted a TON of pumpkin chocolate chip scone recipes out there...but no matter! There's always room for more in my life and in my belly!
ReplyDeleteI found a lot of pumpkin, but not pumpkin chocolate chip.
Deletei totally hoard pumpkin all summer long too! aldi always takes forever to get it in!!!
ReplyDeleteYes they do! I'll probably go this weekend to check.
DeleteI'm really, really far behind the curve. Are you in Chi town attending culinary school? Jealous. I had a driver ask me the other day what I would do if I won the lottery. I said I would add on to my kitchen, but professional grade appliances and enroll in Le Cordon Bleu!
ReplyDeleteI'm in pastry school! It's never too late, Tamilyn.
DeleteIt is on my bucket list :)
DeleteWay to follow your dream-you rock!
These look absolutely delicious! The pumpkin scone is my favorite at Starbucks so I should really give these a try.
ReplyDeleteThese are better than Starbucks'! :)
DeleteWhy have I never seen canned pumpkin in our Aldis here?! I love aldi but I'd love them even more if they stocked pumpkin hehe.
ReplyDeleteI think it's rare when they have it! It usually goes fast. I'd start looking for it because now is the time when they'd have it.
Deletemmm I love autumn and all the flavours and recipes that come with it! I would have to say that cinnamon is definitely my favourite spice of the season, in fact I've decided that it's one of my favourites overall. Glad to see school is going well, and excited to see the cakes you will bake!
ReplyDeleteI love fall, too!
DeleteYum! Pumpkin scones! I'm obsessed with pumpkin in any way, shape or form!
