I made these a few days ago and was very very pleased with them. I made a couple of changes to suite our needs, I used 50% unbleached white and 50% whole wheat flour white I used 2 tablespoons of Splenda brown blend for the sugar and a third cup of a more heart healthy margarine for the butter. Ok, that's 3 changes but they were still great. The pumpkin in really mild in this recipe that makes beautiful big scones. They also freeze quite well if you don't want to use them all at once.

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
