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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a loaf tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped walnuts, and fresh thyme leaves (if using).
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed pumpkin, milk, and egg until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or your favorite spread.
