These delightful pumpkin spice scones are perfect for a cozy breakfast or afternoon treat. Paired with a luscious honey butter spread, they bring warmth and sweetness to your table.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray by lightly greasing it.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Use a hand mixer for quicker and more consistent results.
Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and milk to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Stir in the mixed spice and gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the scones tender.
On a floured surface, knead the dough gently and shape it into a circle about 1.5 cm thick.
Use a light touch when kneading to avoid tough scones.
Cut the dough into 6 wedges and place them on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with a little milk.
Spacing the wedges slightly apart allows for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Wrapping the scones in a clean tea towel while cooling keeps them soft.
For the honey butter, mix the softened butter with honey until well combined.
Adjust the honey to your taste for the desired sweetness.
Serve the scones warm with the honey butter spread.
Enjoy with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
