Notes
I rolled my dough to 2cm thick and used a 7cm cutter and got 12 scones, if you go for thicker dough you will obviously get thicker scones but less in number.
Your pumpkin scones will keep for a few days in an airtight box and can be reheated in the oven before serving. Pumpkin scones will freeze well for up to 4 months.
Mixed spice is a blend of spices we buy here in the UK. In USA pumpkin spice or apple ie spice mix will work just as well.
