Pumpkin and Fried Onion Scones

Made with plain wheat flour, fresh homeamde butternut squash puree, and crisp fried onion, these simple tasty pumpkin scones are best served with butter, sour cream or chutney over a pot of tea. They are the perfect addition to every fall and holiday table and might be the best way to celebrate pumpkin season.

400 g Plain flour, sifted
15 g Baking powder
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Sea salt
125 g Butter, chopped, at room temperature
220 g Pumpkin puree, cooled
80 ml Buttermilk, plus extra to glaze
2 tbsp Maple syrup
1 Small egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp Dried thyme
100 g Crisp fried onions
Herb sour cream to serve

Preheat oven to 220C/430F. Line two oven trays with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Rub in butter lightly using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in centre. Add pumpkin puree, buttermilk, maple syrup, egg, dried thyme and fried onions.
Using a bread and butter knife, mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead lightly. Press out to form a round about 2cm thick and cut into 10-12 rounds or your desired size and shape.
Place them on the prepared trays. Brush with extra buttermilk. Bake 20-22 minutes or until scones sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with herb sour cream or your favourite chutney.
