Best Ever Pumpkin Scones
"These scones are the fluffiest, tastiest I have ever ever had. I found the recipe on another website and had to share!"
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
12 Scones
ingredients
- 250 g pumpkin, peeled
- 2 cups self raising flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄3 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 40 g butter, softened
- 1 egg yolk
- milk, for glazing
- butter, to serve
directions
- Preheat oven to 200°C Place pumpkin in a steamer over a saucepan of boiling water, cover and steam until tender (about 15 minutes), then transfer to an oven tray and bake for 10 minutes to dry out. Cool, then pass through a coarse sieve.
- Sift flour, nutmeg and 1 tsp salt into a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat icing sugar and butter until pale and fluffy, add egg yolk and beat to combine. Using a wooden spoon, stir in pumpkin, then half the flour mixture. Add remaining flour mixture and, using your hands, bring together to make a dough, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth (dough should be a little sticky).
- Roll out to 2cm thick and, using a 5.5cm-diameter cutter dipped in flour, cut rounds (without twisting cutter) from dough and transfer to a lightly greased oven tray. Re-roll scraps and repeat. Brush tops with milk and bake until golden and sound hollow when tapped (10-15 minutes). Serve hot or at room temperature with butter.

I'm a young stay at home mum from Australia, passionate about healthy eating with flavour! I eat organically and hope to soon be growing a lot of our diet in the backyard! Recipezaar is the website I always go to first for recipes, I reckon it is the best around.
Keen to start trying out old fashioned home cooking- just made my first batch of ginger beer, will post recipe soon.
