Autumn Recipe 

Pumpkin Scone Recipe!

With the sun disappearing, it seems autumn is finally upon us. Now is the perfect time for some autumnal baking! Check out this great recipe for pumpkin scones, one where you have a chance to use the Tide Mill flour.

Ingredients: 

450g Tide Mill flour

100g cold butter

50g golden caster sugar

1-2 tsp pumpkin spice

1-2 tsp pumpkin spice

200g cooked pumpkin

80-100ml milk

Butter or cream cheese flavoured with a pinch of cinnamon, to serve

Method:

1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour in a bowl and coarsely grate in the butter (dipping the butter into the flour can make it easier to grate; do this as often as you need). Use a butter knife to stir the butter into the flour, then mix in the sugar and spice.
2. Add the pumpkin and 80ml to the flour mixture and quickly stir everything together. Add more milk if you need to.
3. Tip the mixture onto a floured surface and lightly bring together with your hands a couple of times. Roll out until 4cm thick and stamp out rounds with a 7cm cutter. Re-shape the trimmings until all the dough has been used. Place the rounds on a lightly floured baking sheet and brush the tops with any remaining milk. Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly browned.
