Squash Scones - Recipe

The earthy flavor of squash gives these light and flaky scones a distinctive taste that goes so well with a number of savory accompaniments. Enjoy them with coffee or tea as a delicious alternative to sweet scones or serve them with an autumn harvest supper instead of the usual bread, rolls, or biscuits.

Squash Scones Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • Sift flour, baking powder, ginger, and cinnamon into a large bowl.
  • Add in butter and mix with fork or pastry blender.
  • Stir in sugar and squash.
  • Stir in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time until you have soft dough. Combine all ingredients gently.

  • Place on parchment paper or silpat on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.
