Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Scones With Cinnamon Chips image

Delicous and different scones with pumpkin, pecans, and cinnamon chips; this recipe was inspired by chef #242729's recipe #397407, which I added oatmeal, spelt flour, maple syrup or maple extract, pecans, and cinnamon chips to, and also added a spiced sugar sprinkle on top. recipe #397407 has a wonderful recipe in it for honey butter; I highly recommend it if you like butter on your scones! You can use canned, frozen, or fresh pumpkin puree in these scones.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the scones a more intense pumpkin flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones to rise and prevents them from spreading too much.
Bake the scones until they are just golden brown. Overbaking the scones will make them dry.
Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.
