Pumpkin scones

In honour of Australia Day I decided to make some pumpkin scones (that and my pumpkin wasn't looking crash hot).

For those who don't know Pumpkin Scones are simply a variation on the British scone only of course made with pumpkin which is a vegetable readily available here.

My reciepe was simply

3 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup honey (capilano)
1 cup cooked pumpkin mashed
50 grams butter
1/2 cup milk

1. Cook chopped pumpkin till tender
2. Cream butter and honey together
3. Add pumpkin
4. Mix in milk
5. Add flour cup at a time.
6. Flour bench top
7. Knead mixture
8. Flatten to about 1cm
9. Cut out with circle cutter (our was a very small one)

10. Place next to each other on grease paper on tray. They need to be place right next to each other so they rise up rather than flatten out.
11. Bake in preheated 200 degree oven for 15 minutes.
12. Serve hot with lots of butter.

My girls who are fussy eaters ate 3 each and have been bugging me for more. 
Looks like I have a yummy school lunch box item.
