Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour

300g

1 dash salt

1 cup pumpkin

120g

1/2 cup light sour cream

120g

1/2 cup lemonade

120g

1 tbsp milk (1% fat)

16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or lightly dusting it with flour to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Pumpkin: If you haven't already, cook and mash the pumpkin until smooth. You can steam or microwave the pumpkin pieces until they are soft, then mash them with a fork or blender.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed pumpkin, light sour cream, and lemonade. Stir until well combined.

5. Form the Dough: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky; avoid overmixing to ensure tender scones.

6. Shape the Dough: Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. With floured hands, gently pat the dough into a round shape, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

7. Cut the Scones: Using a floured round cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out scones from the dough and place them on the prepared baking tray. Gather any remaining dough, gently press it into a round again, and cut out more scones.

8. Brush with Milk: Lightly brush the tops of the scones with the tablespoon of milk. This will give them a nice golden color when baked.

9. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are well-risen and golden brown on top.

10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the scones to cool slightly. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve them warm.

Tips:

- Ensure your self-raising flour is fresh for the best rise in your scones.

- You can use homemade or canned pumpkin puree, just make sure it's well drained to avoid excess moisture.

- For a richer flavor, you can replace the light sour cream with regular sour cream or even Greek yogurt.

- Handle the dough as little as possible to keep the scones light and fluffy—over-mixing can make them tough.

- Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut out your scones to ensure they rise evenly.

- Brush the tops with milk before baking to achieve a nice golden color.

In just a few easy steps, you've created a batch of delicious Pumpkin and Lemonade Scones that are sure to impress. Their unique flavor combination and light, fluffy texture make them a standout baked treat. Enjoy them warm with a spread of butter or your favorite jam.
