Pumpkin scones (sweet)

I was planning on making some pumpkin scones with herbs, spinach and cheese sometime this week, but I just found this recipe - hmm. Never really tried sweet pumpkin scones... interesting

I am not a fan of pumpin... I wonder what these might taste like with acorn squash... nutty and sweet. Do you know I run a recipe list on Yahoo? The Pagan Table.

I wonder what acorn squash are? Hmmm.
Oh - googled it - they look close enough to punkins, so I don't see why not! Do they behave just like pumpkins?

Oooh! Am I allowed to join if I'm not a Pagan?
I do have a table :)

Absolutely! We have folks of all faiths at the Table. We do post recipes and spells and rituals but just ignore what doesn't make you purr. :D

*mwah!*

you've never had sweet pumpkin scones?? wow! i have ONLY had them sweet! to me, pumpkin is a desert thing ... pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, etc.

[ursy_ten]

Nope, never!

We never seem to use pumpkin as a sweet in Australia, we use it mainly as a vegetable. I've never tried pumpkin pie (though one day I will, 'cause I'd like to)

Don't you guys ever have pumpkin soup? And have mashed pumpkin with your steak and peas n' stuff?

*tilt, tilt*

pumpkin pie is a holiday tradition for most american families- thanksgiving would be lacking something without it!

i have never even heard of pumpkin soup. we have mashed sweet potatoes (which are DELICIOUS with butter and brown sugar!), but i have never heard of mashed pumpkin, either.

Well that conversation's inspired me to put a big pot of pumpkin soup on tonight.

If you want to know the recipe for pumpkin soup, I think it was one of the first posts in this community...

But if you've been viewing it as a sweet your whole life, it might be just too weird an idea! When I went to Singapore they had sweet corn flavoured ice cream, and it just did my head in!
