Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220 °C. First, put the flour in a bowl, add the sugar, baking powder, salt and spices. Using a kneading hook or hand mixer, start mixing the dry ingredients at medium speed (be sure to break up any clumps of brown sugar). Once the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined, begin to gradually add the cold butter until all of it is incorporated into the batter. The dough will look like breadcrumbs - the butter in the dough will be ground into pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.

Step 2

In small bowl whisk together pumpkin puree, buttermilk and 1 egg. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and pat into a rough rectangle. Fold the rectangle three times like a letter and repeat three times. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a roughly 1 cm thick round. With a very sharp knife, cut each round into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on your prepared baking pans (space them about 5cm apart)

Step 3

In a small bowl whisk 1 egg and brush over the scones. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
