How to Make Aussie Pumpkin Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan/425°F/Gas Mark 7).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked pumpkin puree, self-raising flour, sugar, and spices. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Stir in the cold butter using a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the milk gradually, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and gently turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough to a thickness of approximately 2cm.
  6. Use a 5cm round cutter (or a knife) to cut out scones. Gently transfer the scones to a greased baking tray.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and well-risen.
  8. Serve warm with butter and your favorite jam or cream.
