Pumpkin Scones

Tender and buttery Pumpkin Scones, perfect for afternoon tea or as a savoury side dish. Make these classic Pumpkin Scones with homemade pumpkin purée or canned pumpkin.

There is something about Pumpkin Scones which always reminds me of childhood. My parents sold them in the bakery alongside the plain scones and fruit scones, and I was never sure if pumpkin scones were intended to be sweet or savoury, but I knew that I was always intrigued by their deep orange hue.

Ingredients:
For the Pumpkin Scones
  • 500 g (3 1/3 cup) plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 75 g (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 250 g (1 cup) pumpkin purée
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk

For the Egg Wash
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
