Notes

Notes On The Ingredients:

The best scones are made with a light and flaky pastry, perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. Follow these tips to create the perfect batch of pumpkin scones every time!
Butter: For best results, use very cold or frozen butter in this recipe. One of the best reasons to use cold butter is as they air fry up, the butter will melt, giving you a great rich and delicious scone. You will also get the traditional flavor of the scone.
For best results, grate the butter. The result will be a very moist scone.
Pumpkin Puree: For best results, remove the pumping from the can and use a paper towel to get some moisture out of the pumpkin.
Spices: While I used a traditional pumpkin pie spice, if you do not have any, you can switch it out for a combination of ground cinnamon, ground allspice, ground ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Make sure that those spices combine only the same pumpkin pie spice called for in the recipe.
Brown Sugar: I used dark brown sugar, but you can switch it out for light brown sugar.
