These ghost scones are absolutely perfect for Halloween. If you’re having a Halloween brunch or simply want something to serve at teatime or for an after school snack, these are ideal.

I would even have these for lunch with some soup – I’d probably not dust them with the powdered sugar to keep them a little less sweet though. How would you serve them?

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

1 TBS cinnamon

½ butter grated

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup milk

2 eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well incorporated.

Cut butter into flour mixture until flour compacts easily. 

In a small bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, and milk.

Fold egg mixture into dry ingredients until well incorporated.

Turn dough out onto floured surface and roll out until ¼ in thick

Using a 2 inch circle cutter cut out circles in the dough.

Place dough on the prepared baking sheet and using your finger make 3 holes for the eyes and mouth of the ghost. 

Brush scones with maple syrup and bake for 10-15 minutes.

Once scones are completely cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on your scones.

Notes:

*Dough will be sticky just use some extra flour to help it not stick

*If the holes do close use a straw while warm to make the holes again

*To make them extra spooky add some fake blood or strawberry syrup
