Ingredients

For the scone

  • 250 g pumpkin puree [see below]
  • 250 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 40 g butter I use Flora Plant Butter
  • 100 g grated smoked dairy free cheese I used Applesmoked vegan cheese

For the glaze

  • 1 tsp pumpkin puree [see below]
  • 1 tsp dairy free milk I used soya milk
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the butter and rub together into bread crumbs using your fingers or a pastry cutter/blender.
  • Add the cheese and combine (hold some back to sprinkle on top of your scones if you like)
  • Add the pumpkin puree then, using a rounded knife mix to combine until crumb mixture starts to bind. Use a cutting motion through the crumble mixture over and over again until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
  • Tip onto a well floured surface and pat into a thick round about 1 inch thick.
  • Using an 8cm cutter cut out 5 scones.
  • TOP TIP: if you need, add the scraps back to the mixing bowl and use the same cutting motion with the knife to bring them back together. Try not to be tempted to knead the scraps together to make your last scone.
  • Combine the glaze ingredients and brush liberally on top of each scone, then top with any remaining cheese if you like.
  • Place on a greased baking tray and put in the oven on 190°C | 170°C fan | 375°F | Gas 5 for 18-20 minutes until risen and springy to the touch.
  • Remove and allow to cool - these are best served slightly warm with lashings of butter.
