Pumpkin scones

One of my favourite vegetable is pumpkin, soft and sweet it's my kind of food ^^.

It can be used in my ways, in cake, bread, pudding, tart, cheesecake etc. or Thai dessert too. It's easy to prepare in the microwave, I think it's the easiest way to cook the pumpkin for using in the cake or pastry as the pumpkin will be soft with no extra water ^^, and less thing to wash too.
Today I added the pumpkin into my scone, and got beautiful yellow scones. It's very easy to make, no need to afraid of the toughness, as the pumpkin itself doesn't contain gluten. So you can mix and fold it until smooth (the flour part is cake flour, it's little amount of gluten). If you're vegetarian, just replace the milk with nut milk to make vegetarian version.
