1. Can I make Pumpkin Scones ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight, then bake it fresh in the morning.

2. Can I add nuts to my Pumpkin Scones?

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla, and egg.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.
Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into wedges.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Use cold butter for the best flaky texture and avoid overmixing the dough.
