Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 150 grams Cooked pumpkin, mashed
- 50 grams Walnuts, roughly chopped
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped walnuts, and fresh thyme leaves (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed pumpkin, milk, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scone loaf to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or your favorite spread.
