Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones

No pic sorry :(

Ingredients:

1/2c (1stick) butter, cold cubbed
2/3c canned pumpkin
3/4c whipping cream
2c flour
1/3c sugar
1tbs baking powder
1tsp pumpkin pie spice
2c (1pkg) chocolate chips

(food processor)

Directions:

1.  Combine dry ingredients in food processor and mix
2.  Pulse in cold butter until the mixture becomes mealy in appearance
3.  Add pumpkin and cream either in food processor to whisk together with dry ingredients and butter and mix in chocolate chips
4.  Pat dough into 8x8in square on floured surface and cut into 16 relatively even triangles
5.  Bake @ 400F for 20min
Yield ~3 dozen


Notes:
-Combine pumpkin and cream in a bowl before adding to food processor, mixes better
-Would be good with white chocolate chips and or nuts
-Could chop into smaller triangles and reduce cooking time

The Verdict:
Really good, great for breakfast or a quick snack.  I'm not normally a scone fan because they tend to be dry but I really liked these.
