Trader Joe’s went hard on pumpkin items this year and added to their baking line up a scone mix that will surely be steadily stockpiled in the carts of all pumpkin patrons. I’ll be marking this freshly added product down on my list of loves, while starting my morning off with this twist on a British classic. As soon as I woke up the next morning after my purchase, the oven was heating, the ingredients laid out, and anticipation was mounting. Here’s how it all went down:
It all starts by tossing the mix in to a large bowl, melting down a stick of butter, measuring out 3/4 cup of whole milk, and cracking an egg into the bowl followed by the previously mentioned ingredients. As you’ll notice in the image above I added some dark chocolate chips for a little extra flavor (you’ll want abou 1/4 cup of these), making them reminiscent of my favorite chocolate chip pumpkin cookies Mom used to bake. Now, pre-heat the oven to 375 and mix all the ingredients until the dry mix has disappeared leaving a thick dough. There should be a little butter residue remaining in the dish you used to melt it in. Using your fingers, grease up a large cookie sheet and cover the surface. 
Place large spoonfuls of the dough about an inch apart (two fingers) and pop those pumpkin scones into the oven. After about 12-15 minutes your kitchen will be filled with wonderful pumpkin aroma, and those scones ready to exit the oven.
My batch was able to yield 8 large scones. At $3.29 for the mix, when all was said and done each one of those delicious pastries came down to about 50 cents a pop. I highly suggest picking this pumpkin scone mix up and wrestling with your imagination and add to this colorful canvas whatever your heart desires. And, please, let me know what the FORK U added to your masterful mix.
