Spiced Pumpkin Scones

1.Preheat oven to 210°C.

2.Put butter, flour, baking powder sugar and spices in a processor and pulse till mixture has a fine crumb-like texture, or rub butter into flour with fingertips.

3.In a bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk and mashed pumpkin and pour into the flour mixture. Pulse or stir to combine.

4.Turn the dough onto a floured board and dust with flour so you can shape the dough without it sticking to your hands. Form into a circular cake approximately 20cm in diameter. Place on a tray lined with baking paper then brush with milk and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cut 8 wedges into the dough, but don’t separate the sections.

5.Bake for 25 minutes or until well risen and golden. Separate sections and serve split and spread with butter.
