I only made the scone and they turned out pretty tasty but I had a couple problems and am not sure why. The dough wasn't moist at all and I added more milk. Then I ended up doubling the cook time. I think I had more pumpkin leftover than the 1/2 cup so maybe that was part of the cooking time problem. All in all though they still turned out tasty.
