I inherited a love for scones at an early age from my English mother. Her homemade scones were simple, with just a few ingredients and no eggs—essentially a sweet biscuit to serve for tea along with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Years later, I find that I also love baking scones on the weekend for my family. They’re so easy to make and endlessly adaptable—and the drop scone style is even easier, with no rolling or cutting required. These moist, tender pumpkin drop scones come together easily with pantry staples and a can of pumpkin puree. The pumpkin spice flavor, while not traditional, is a favorite in our house. Mini chocolate chips add a touch of sweetness, while an optional spiced glaze makes them extra special. They’re perfect for fall breakfasts or snacks on the go.
