In reply to Casey Davis. I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Casey! I found that the extra sugar in these actually worked here while it made the others, like my traditional scones, a little too sweet.

Finally found the best and easiest pumpkin scones I’ve ever made! Just curious why these pumpkin scones have so much more sugar than your other scone recipes. Don’t get me wrong…I loved how sweet these were but just really curious because I want to try some of your other scone recipes as well. Thanks so much!

These WOULD have been great had I had the patience to make sure the moisture of the pumpkin was truly soak out. I doctored them up the best I could and they still tasted amazing. I will give it another whirl and have patience the next time.

Love all your recipes!! It’s still a 5 star as it was easy to make and very tasty!

In reply to Yolanda. Hi Yolanda! I actually give you a couple of ways to do it without a food processor in the post. :)

Do you have to use a food processor, and you use a pastry cutter?

Another great recipe! I made these yesterday for the first time and they came out so perfect that I immediately made another batch and froze them! I love scones but haven’t attempted them much because they have always seemed like they would take extra work. This recipe is so easy, and quick to put together! The video was very helpful and made it seem easier than I expected. The scones are perfect! I didn’t even put the glaze on them, but I did do the whipping cream and I went very heavy on the sprinkle sugar top. Amazing!

Just made this to have for the Thanksgiving weekend – a delicious and easy recipe! I added mini choc chips to a couple of batches (I made 3 batches, one as printed and two more in more of a mini size). Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!

OMG – I would give this recipe six stars if I could! These are the scones of my dreams. There is no one on Earth who wouldn’t love these. The technique of how to handle the dough is explained so well and is spot-on. I used White Lily flour for these, as I do with all my biscuits, and the inside was fluffy and creamy. I understand that “real” British scones have a coarser texture and are more craggy, but they ain’t got nuthin’ on these. Sam – thank you and your sister for being so generous as to share her secrets with us:)

In reply to Libbie Solomonson. Hi Libbie! It can work. You'll need a little less milk and the scones will be slightly less tender but they should still turn out. :)

Would it work if I used whole milk instead of cream? I’d love to make these without having to go to the grocery now. Thanks.

In your other scone recipes, it says to grate frozen butter. Would using a food processor & sprinkling with slices of frozen butter work in those?

In reply to Sarah Pourhosseini. Hi Sarah! We're so glad you like this recipe. To freeze, prepare the dough as instructed, cut it into wedges, and then wrap each scone in cling wrap and store in an airtight container (or Ziploc bag) in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, there is no need to thaw, but you may need a few extra minutes in the oven. We always wait until just before baking before brushing them with cream and sprinkling with sugar.
