Pumpkin Scones

These pumpkin scones can be made with fresh, frozen, or tinned pumpkins, depending on what you have available. In America, these are served as Butternut Squash Biscuits.

They are more like mini cakes than scones, as the recipe starts with creaming butter and sugar together. The scones are cooked in a Dutch oven, but can also be baked in a camp or traditional oven.

These are wonderful for morning and afternoon tea but are also delicious served alongside a hearty stew or soup. Serve them with a bit of jam and butter, or use them to sop up juices in the bowl.
