Pumpkin Scones
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
- Sift the flour and mixed spice together into a large bowl. Add the chopped butter and then use your fingertips to rub the ingredients together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and then add the pumpkin, sugar and egg. Use a knife in a cutting motion to quickly mix together and form a sticky dough. Be careful not to over mix as the scones will be tough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead to form a circle. Use a floured rolling pin to roll until the dough is 2-3 cm thick. Get the kids to help you cut the dough into rounds using a 6cm round cutter.
- Place the scones gently on the prepared tray, and transfer into the oven to bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire wrack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and spread with butter.
