Pumpkin Morsel Scones

Of all the baking in all the world, Scones are one of my favourites. My parents recently got back from the states, and brought with them oodles and oodles of goodies, to take up residence on the baking shelf in the pantry. I have got so many options now, when he urge to bake comes on. I don’t think I will be purchasing anything anytime in the near future. I am WELL stocked! The first thing that got opened were the pumpkin morsels, I made up a batch of these heavenly scones. Scones, it’s where it’s at!
