  1. Fresh pumpkin puree is my new kick and I had some leftover to use. I would actually give this a little more than 3 stars with regards to texture. I didn't have fresh ginger so I used just a little under the directed measurement for the ground ginger I had in the cupboard. I will try it next time with fresh ginger. I used shortening for 4 of the 5 tbsp for butter. I did use the last tbsp for the coating. I also topped off the scones with cinnamon along with the brushed butter and sugar. I'd like to try it with crystalized sugar on top next time. I also think with using fresh pumpkin puree it will need pumpkin pie spice and some nutmeg added to give it a little more "kick" in the flavor. The real key is the sour cream. That helped made it moist! This was probably the best batch of scones I've been able to make. The true proof is when the other half goes for 2nds & 3rds! I'll post pics soon. But I think I rolled my scones a bit too long that they came out a bit bigger than expected that we had to cut them in half to eat and share :) Thanks for sharing the recipe.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
