Tips for Making Pumpkin Scones

I find it the easiest to grate frozen butter on a grater, like you do cheese, then stir the butter into your mixture. I do this for all my recipes that call for cutting in butter. It makes that step so much easier!
Be sure to get pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling for this recipe
For scones, you always want to handle it as little as possible and be gentle with it. The heat from your hands will melt the butter and you don’t want that. The pockets of butter make those layers of crust.
Sift your flour twice before measuring.
I use buttermilk in scones. As well, I do not recommend lower-fat milk or skim milk.
Finally, get your hands on these while they’re hot!! They’re delicious hot with butter!
