Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to use cold butter for the scones, as this will help create a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones. Mix until just combined.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the scones, such as chopped herbs or cooked bacon, for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have pumpkin puree, you can substitute it with mashed sweet potato or butternut squash.

Storage and Serving

  • These scones are best served warm, straight from the oven.
  • You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the scones, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
