Nigella Lawson's Pumpkin Scones

Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • generous pinch red pepper flake
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour plus more for forming the scones
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan or similar type cheese
  • generous handful shelled pumpkin seeds

Topping

  • milk
  • pumpkin seeds
  • more parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Carefully melt the butter in the microwave or on top of the stove. Stir in the red pepper flakes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Measure all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Measure the rest of the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Add the melted butter with red pepper flakes and mix well.
  • Stir half the dry ingredients into the wet. Mix well and repeat with the other half. The dough should form a ball.
  • Sprinkle some flour onto a flat surface and turn the dough out. Knead gently and pat into shape. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or in wedges as I've done. Arrange on the baking tray with a little bit of space between them.
  • Brush on a small amount of milk for glaze and sprinkle more pumpkin seeds and parmesan cheese on the tops. Gently press into place.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the scones are cooked through.
