Name: Pumpkin Scones

Category: Scone

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin

2 cups self−rising flour or 2 cups all−purpose

flour plus 2 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter until softened. Add sugar and salt gradually, beating until mixture is well

combined. Add beaten egg and work in well, then add pumpkin.

Sift together in a medium bowl flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, then slowly add dry mixture to pumpkin

mixture and mix quickly to form a soft dough, adding more flour if necessary. Turn onto a lightly

floured board and knead gently for a few minutes. Pat the dough to 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds or

squares. Place on lightly greased pan, brush tops with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 12 to

15 minutes, until well risen and golden.
