Pumpin Scones & A Pumpkin Patch

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest. It was for knock-off Starbucks Pumpkin Scones. I repinned, checked out the blog where it originated, printed the recipe and made them. I am skeptical at times with recipes I get off the internet. I've tried some that aren't so great.

Let me just say they are well worth the effort. When my four year old son said, "Mom, I love scones." I knew I'd found a good recipe. The only thing I did differently was the icing. Instead of making a second batch with the spices I used what I had left after brushing the plain icing and just added the yummy spices to the leftover icing and then drizzled that over the top. They were moist and divine! Next time I'll divide the dough into 12 scones rather than 6. They're pretty large.

Now I need to find a Starbucks Gingerbread knock-off recipe.

I thought I'd share a few photo's from our pumpkin patch outings this year. It's a bit late but better late than never. We went to two different farms. The second farm had the best hayride through the woods and it was cool that day so it really felt like Fall.

Isn't this a great pumpkin patch?

They had fun finding the perfect pumpkins. My oldest was with a friend when we went to this farm. She's getting to the age now where things like this are boring. One day she'll appreciate these outings again.

Time to sit for a spell.

He takes his pumpkin carrying job seriously.

Lovely autumn shades. Even in the grasses.

This photo was from the first pumpkin patch we went to. It was warm and sunny that day. We were at the farm midday so it made for lots of shadows in my photo's. This was one of the few that turned out. Daddy was blocking the sun.

Thanks for stopping by Blue Sky Confections.
