Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, cream together the vegetable shortening and brown sugar until light. Beat in the pumpkin puree and yogurt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.

  5. 5

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, sprinkle lightly with flour, and knead gently until smooth. Roll out to a thickness of about 3/4 inch and cut into squares or rounds.

  6. 6

    Place the scones about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until firm and lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Transfer to wire racks, cover with a clean towel, and let cool before serving.
