Pumpkin Scones

Ingredients:

1 tblspn butter

1/2 cup dextrose

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg

1 cup mashed pumpkin - cold

2 cups SR flour

Method:

1. Lightly grease a baking tray - line with baking paper if desired
2. Beat together butter, sugar & salt with electric mixer
3. Add egg, then pumpkin & stir in the flour
4. Turn on to floured board & cut into about 12 scones (mixture will be a bit sticky, so have a little extra flour in a glass & dip knife into flour to help cut scones.  Alternatively, use scone cutter -dipped in flour if needed)
5. Place in tray on top shelf of very hot over 225-250C for about 15 minutes or until slightly browned (will depend on oven)

Scones are a bit tricky but the more you make, the better you get.

I just did this exact recipe (without having read this post) that I adapted from the Lady Flo one, but I did the flour and butter in the fingertips method, then added the wet ingredients.

Everyone at the afternoon tea though they were amazing!
