Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

  5. Next cut your cold butter into the flour.
  6. Stir in the canned pumpkin, egg , and vanilla extract.
  7. Fold in 3/4 cup of roasted pecans ( dough will be sticky )  don’t over mix otherwise the scones will be chewy ).
  8. Form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
  9. Place dough in the freezer for 25 minutes.
  10. Take out of the freezer and shape dough into a disc about 1 inch deep. Cut the circle into 8 different slices ( I just used a pizza cutter, knife will work fine also ).

  12. Bake for 12 -14 minutes.
  13. Let cool completely when done.
  14. While the scones are baking whisk together the glaze ingredients until creamy.
