Pumpkin scones

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.
3. Rub in the cold butter cut into cubes, using your fingertips, until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
4. Add the pumpkin purée, cream and egg, then mix just enough to form a soft dough, without overworking it.
5. Roll out the dough to 2 cm thick on a floured surface and cut out rounds with a 6 cm cutter.
6. Place the scones on the tray, brush the tops with cream or milk, then bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
7. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack and serve with butter and jam.
