Pumpkin Maple Scones

These orange fluffy morsels are very nostalgic to me as take me right back to my Nanny’s kitchen as a little girl. I remember the sweet smell of the pumpkin cooking and rubbing my hands through the butter and flour 🧡

The pumpkin, maple and cinnamon give them the most beautiful flavour. Serve warm from the oven with lashings of butter and honey, yummmm!
