Pumpkin Scones

1 T  Butter
1/2 c  Sugar
1    Egg
2 c  Flour, self-raising
1 c  Pumpkin, cooked, cooled & mashed
1/8 t  Salt

Grease a scone tray or baking tray.  Cream together the butter and  sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add pumpkin, flour and salt and fold in by hand.  Knead lightly and cut into 1-inch squares. Place close together on the scone tray and bake at 425 degrees F. until well risen and golden on top (about 15 minutes).  Serve hot, with butter.

NOTES: Pumpkin scones -- Scones (pronounced with a short `o', rhymes with  `Fonz') are a popular accompaniment to afternoon tea. They are often served with jam and whipped cream. In this variation the scones are flavoured with pumpkin. It is not a typical scone recipe.
