    These Butternut Squash Scones are crisp on the outside and soft in the center. A great accompaniment for soups and stews.

    I made a batch of these Butternut Squash Scones to serve with my Vanilla Butternut Squash Bisque. A terrific lunch combo that is hearty enough for dinner. These scones also taste great with a pat of butter, jelly or cream cheese.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
    • ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ⅓ cup cold unsalted butter diced
    • 1 large egg lightly beaten
    • ¾ cup butternut squash purée cooked
    • ⅔ cup buttermilk

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400°
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, stirring well. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal.
    • In a small bowl, add egg, squash puree, and buttermilk.
    • Add squash mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
    • Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough for 10 turns. Roll dough to 1-inch thickness.
    • Using an approximately 3-inch cutter, cut as many scones as possible.
    • Place scones 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.

    Notes

    For squash purée, cut a squash in half, and remove seeds. Rub with olive oil. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely. Scoop flesh from shell, discarding shell. Purée squash until smooth. Transfer purée to strainer. Set strainer over a bowl, and refrigerate until ready to use. Discard any strained juices.

      Had leftover canned butternut squash to use up, and this recipe fit the bill. The scones are delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe.

          Made these again today, but used some cubed Kombucha squash I had in the freezer. Equally delicious as the first time I made them. I could even see me using pumpkin purée in future batches. Definitely one of my go-to recipes from now on. 🙂
