Pumpkin Scones

Healthy Eating Advisory Service
These scones provide more fiber than traditional scones and can be eaten on their own, or as a tasty accompaniment to soup in winter.

  • cups Pumpkin Peeled and cut into small chunks
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • ¼ cup Margarine
  • ¼ cup Milk Low-fat
  • 1 Egg
  • Extra flour To dust

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 2 Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Steam pumpkin for 10 minutes, or until soft. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • Combine flour, sugar and spices in a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mash the cooled pumpkin until smooth. Add the milk and egg and mix well.
  • Add the pumpkin to the flour mixture and combine gently until the mixture begins to hold together.
  • Using your hands, turn the dough onto a lightly floured bench. Knead gently for 2–3 minutes or until smooth. Split dough into evenly sized scone rounds, place on a baking paper lined tray and sprinkle lightly with extra flour.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through. Serve warm.
