Pumpkin Scones for a Lady

Woolworths were selling whole pumkins last week for $1.98, so cheap!  I couldn’t pass up a good opportunity to make some pumpkin scones and the left overs to make pumpkin and potato mash.

Don’t be scared by a scone recipe.  My Nan used to knead and roll her scones out then cut into nice squares.  Not I, I place a large heaped spoon from the bowl onto the baking sheet.  They turn out exactly the same. Easy peasy:)

This recipe made 24 scones.  We ate some fresh for afternoon tea and then I froze the rest.  I buttered them along with honey and put in containers in the freezer, using the freezer sheets inbetween.  Then when it comes time to make kids/DH lunches I add them to the boxes frozen and by morning tea time they are defrosted.  I do this with majority of what I bake, keeps longer and they taste fresh like the day you made them.

    Those look SOOOOO yummy! I'm a recently diagnosed coeliac, so I'm still trying to adapt my recipes to be gluten free… pumpkin scones might be next on my list!

    Katrina, do you put anything in them when you eat them or do you just eat them plain?

      HI Rae, I like them with a little honey. When I freeze them I cut in half spread with some marg and put on a dollop of honey, then place halves back together and freezer, perfect lunchbox treat.

    Yumm…going to check out the recipe. My kids (and I) LOVE scones, and pumpkin, would be great if I incorporated the two together. :)
