My love of scones came from having high tea with my mom on
girls trips to Chicago. We would wind
down from our shopping/sightseeing weekends with a truly luxurious and relaxing
high tea at a fancy hotel. I was
thrilled to have my very own teapot and delicate china. Everything felt so feminine and grown
up. Tea always included dainty
sandwiches, like these cucumber sandwiches, pastries, and of course, scones with
clotted cream and jam.
I have tried a few different scone recipes
through the years. These Pumpkin
Cranberry Petite Scones with Orange Glaze are one of my favorites.
The pumpkin is not overpowering and the cranberries add a little tang. I also used a small amount of cinnamon chips. If you cannot find cinnamon chips it would be ok without them. The sweet orange glaze is the proverbial icing on the cake. Don’t skip that!

Often scones are quite large so I took a cue from Starbucks and made these “petite”.
One is perfect as an afternoon snack with tea and two are perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee.
