    Halloween Parties and Pumpkin Scones!

    I am so excited to share this fun collaboration I did with Lauren Conrad Co. for a Halloween Virtual or Micro Party! This year celebrations have to be done differently, but that's not a bad thing. We're here to help you make something fun with your friends and family. Whether it's virtual or your small pod. We've got all the details on decorating, recipes for a delicious time, and even a fun Halloween bingo! Whether you choose to do your party with your pals via Skype/Zoom/FaceTime for a brunch or tea time or evening, these ideas should make you scream!

    Now let's talk recipes! Below you'll find my Pumpkin Spice Scones with a Maple Icing. You'll find the recipes that I made for the Apple Cider Chai (hot or cold/alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and Spiced Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches over on Lauren Conrad Co.

    You'll also find in that post some super fun printables from Yellow Heart Art, a Halloween Bingo card and some straw flags.

    Now, onto the decor! You can find all the details in my post here!

    Ingredients for Scones

    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ cup pumpkin puree, remove excess liquid by pressing a cloth or paper towel on top
    • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream, plus more for brushing
    • 1 tablespoon molasses
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold
    • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
    • 5 teaspoon milk
    • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or extract)

    How to make Pumpkin Spice Scones

    1. Preheat the oven to 425° F, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly flour one.

    2. In a large bowl whisk together your sugars, egg, and vanilla until combined. Whisk in your pumpkin puree until incorporated. Finally add in your heavy cream and molasses until all mixed.

    3. In a separate large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.

    4. Cut in the butter (use cheese grater to make this easier), the mixture needs to be a little chunky, not smooth. Mix.

    5. Pour in the wet mixture, mix with a wooden spoon or whisk (or hands) until a dough forms. Roll dough out on a floured surface and form a circle about 1" thick.

    6. Cut your dough into triangles as you would a pizza with a pizza cutter or use cookie cutter to make shapes or drop dough into circles as you would a drop cookie. This dough is a little softer/batter-ish than my normal scones, so they might be a little sticky. 

    7. Use a spatula to place scones on a prepared sheet separated 1-2 inches. Brush the scones with a little heavy cream. Bake for roughly 14-16 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove scones and let cool.

    8. Make and drizzle on icing.
