Pumpkin Scones Recipe
A simple recipe for pumpkin scones that are the perfect addition to a fall meal. Great with soups, stews and chowders.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 egg
- pinch of salt
- 2 heaping cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Cream together margarine and sugar. Then add egg, then pumpkin. Beat well. Add remaining ingredients. Mix by hand.
- Put dough on floured surface and push down with hands (don't roll out with a rolling pin, you want them to be sort of thick and chunky looking).
- Cut out circles with biscuit cutter or a drinking glass (keep bringing dough back together and push out with hands each time all the scones are cut out, when there is enough for one left shape into a circle for the last scone).
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
