Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Steam pumpkin for 10 minutes, or until soft. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
Combine flour, sugar and spices in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mash the cooled pumpkin until smooth. Add the milk and egg and mix well.
Add the pumpkin to the flour mixture and combine gently until the mixture begins to hold together.
Using your hands, turn the dough onto a lightly floured bench. Knead gently for 2–3 minutes or until smooth. Split dough into evenly sized scone rounds, place on a baking paper lined tray and sprinkle lightly with extra flour.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden on top and cooked through. Serve warm.
