These are my favorite things to make, ever. Simple and oaty, a bit sweet but not too much. Like lumps of biscuity goodness. This is a good recipe for those of you who can't stand donut/danish sweetness in the morning.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy, and stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well, and mix to create a soft dough. Mix in the pumpkin as well.
4. Pat dough into small balls, about 2 inches across (or as big as you want your scones).
5. Bake 15 minutes until risen and browned.
Notes:
You can make any type of scone you want, I've added peanuts, chocolate chips, green chile flakes, and pecans in various endeavors. If you use a dry ingredient for flavor, though, add in 1/3 cup of milk to the egg and butter mixture. I left it out because the pumpkin conistency seemed to do just fine without milk.

Hello Hello
What is this blog? This is the post-college blog of wonder. We will not be waxing philisophical about our lives here, oh no. This blog will be made up of some sort of mixture of a) random observations, b) life goals, c) lists, d) recipes, and e) other things. Sorry I can't be more specific with "e." Oh, and photographs. Carry on, wayward ones. It's a big, big world.
