It’s a Autumn tradition to create these Pumpkin Spice Scones in our house! I’ve been making them for the better part of five Autumns, so it’s a scone that I really enjoy. When I first moved to England, I wanted to make an “English Pumpkin Thing” so I made some pumpkin scones. Over time, this recipe has changed a bit, but at it’s core it is still everything I love in a dessert. The scones are a bit more cake-like then scone-like, but that’s part of their charm!
When it comes to pumpkin puree, you can either use the canned stuff (if you can find it) or make your own. To make your own, you just need to purchase a cooking pumpkin – not a carving pumpkin – split it in half, scoop out the middle, and roast it, before digging out the flesh and pureeing it. I can’t seem to find the canned pumpkin puree in stores in England anymore, so this year I made my own. You don’t need much of it, so do keep an eye on our blog for more recipes using the puree we made! Let’s get into the pumpkin spice scones recipe!
