Pumpkin & Parmesan Scones
MAKES 10-12 LARGE SCONES
These big, soft pillows of scone are just divine and perfect when there’s a glut of pumpkins in the garden.
1 cup pumpkin pulp (see Note)
½ cup milk
¼ cup cream
3 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder 60 grams butter, chilled ½ teaspoon sea salt 75 grams Parmesan, grated
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a tray with baking paper.
In a large jug or bowl, whisk pumpkin pulp with milk and cream until incorporated.
In a separate large bowl, combine flour and baking powder and grate in chilled butter. Pour in pumpkin mixture, season with salt and stir to combine with a butter knife.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly and gently until it comes together in a smooth dough. Press out to form a 3cm-thick rectangle. Cut into 12 pieces and transfer to the tray, with each piece just touching. Sprinkle over the Parmesan.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm slathered with butter.
Note: For 1 cup of pumpkin pulp, halve a medium butternut pumpkin lengthwise, scoop out seeds and discard. Roast halves, cut side up, until soft. Scoop cooked flesh from skin and purée with a stick blender or mash well with a fork.
