Annabel Langbein’s PUMPKIN, DATE AND ORANGE SCONES
Makes 12 large scones.

3 cups self-raising flour
2 cups pitted dates, chopped
¼ cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
finely grated zest of 1 orange
¼ tsp salt
1½ cups cream
1 cup mashed cooked pumpkin
¼ cup fresh orange juice
a little milk, for brushing

Preheat oven to 200°C fanbake. Line an oven tray with baking paper and lightly dust with flour.
Combine flour, dates, sugar, baking powder, zest and salt in a bowl.
Combine cream, pumpkin arid juice and mix into the dry ingredients with a knife until the mixture just comes together into a soft, wettish dough. Do not over-mix.
Turn out onto prepared tray and flatten into a circle about 3cm thick. Cut into 12 wedges. Brush tops with a little milk.
Bake until risen, fully set in the centre and lightly golden (about 20 minutes).
