Australian Pumpkin Scones
Tender pumpkin scones made with cold butter and spices, baked until golden.
This version combines pumpkin purée with a lightly spiced scone dough. The available evidence provides proportions and technique, but does not verify a specifically Australian origin or variation.
Method
- 01
Mix the dry ingredients
Heat the oven to 200 °C. In a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, fine salt, baking soda, and spice blend.
- 02
Work in the butter
Add the very cold unsalted butter in small pieces. Rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 03
Mix the wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin purée with the egg, maple syrup, cream, and vanilla extract.
- 04
Shape and cut the dough
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Gently bring the dough together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface, and flatten it to about 1 cm thick. Cut it into 12 pieces.
- 05
Bake
Place the pieces on a baking tray. Bake at 200 °C for 10 minutes; lower the oven to 180 °C and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes.
