Pumpkin Scone Recipe

Chook and I had so much fun making this pumpkin scone recipe together. It is a great recipe to make together with children and is so easy it deserves a place as a Family Meal Idea. Everything goes into one bowl and you're allowed to get your hands into the mix and get messy! This pumpkin scone recipe made enough for one morning tea for our family of six.

On your marks...

I invite Chook to cook with me.
We go to the bathroom and wash our hands.
Pop on our aprons.

Get all the equipment and ingredients out that are needed for the pumpkin scone recipe.

Have a back-up activity ready for the kids, in case they lose interest in the cooking.

Gotta have:

A large bowl
A Tablespoon
A baking tray (I used a lamington tray)
A cup


1 egg
2½ cups of self-raising flour
2Tbs butter
¼ cup sultanas
1 cup mashed pumpkin
¼ cup milk

Get set...

Now I invite Chook to come and cook with me.

We go to the bathroom and wash our hands.

Then we put on our aprons.

Go...



Crack your egg into the bowl and add your flour.



Add sultanas.

Add butter. Mix these ingredients with your fingers until there aren't any lumps. Squishing and rubbing between your fingers really helps!

Add the pumpkin and the milk. Mix with a spoon. It will get sticky now.

Take a spoonful of the mixture and gently roll into a ball.
Place onto the baking tray.
Make sure there is a little growing room between each scone.
Put the tray into a hot oven and cook for 15 minutes.

Serve to the awaiting hoards, who have congregated due to the delicious smell of baking.

Our Weekly Menu Plan

Here is our weekly menu plan for this week. I love this layout for our family menu planner! It shows all the meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks) for the whole week. Pumpkin Scones are included for afternoon tea on Sunday! I have it pinned to our Home Management Pin-up Board and I refer to it every evening when planning ahead for the next day. I hope you find it as useful a tool as I do!
