My family and I love these around the holidays. Soooo good.

I didn’t notice any trouble with overly wet squash, but I was initially worried about how large the squash dice should be. (A rough guideline would have bern nice, but in the end I just concentrated on making the pieces uniformly sized.) I usually make scones with cream only, but was happy that the butter and liquids incorporated so easily! The dough seemed to want to be a disc, so I ended up cutting wedges. The interplay of the chocolate and squash was very subtle; I noticed the chocolate scent most during baking, but I think I chopped the chocolate a bit too finely since I couldn’t detect the chunks right out of the oven. (I’ll see if that changes once they cool and reheat.) My mom (like me) is a big butternut squash fan, and found the result intriguing and delicious! A keeper…

I made these scones. My first time ever making scones. They were fantastic. They are now going to be a Fall tradition. I did make one little change. I iced them with an orange zest icing, but only after eating two each. Just an experiment. Fresh warm scones, amazing.

I would like to make these and I’m wondering about roasting rather than boiling the squash.

These are delicious! The sweetest part about them is the butternut squash. I did run into one problem. The squash was really wet and even after draining they threw off the consistency of the dough. I added more flour and they were ok but next time I will dry the squash on a towel first and add the wet mixture slower.

Was pretty tasty, but a little wet to work with.

I just made your scones today with my 3 year old granddaughter. The additional assistance proved to be a bit of a challenge! But she did well breaking the eggs and stirring the dry ingredients! Did you find that when you bake them, it sometimes takes less than 30minutes? Of my two pans, the lighter topped ones had burned bottoms and the darker topped ones did not burn on the bottom. I put them in the oven at the same time. I think I will try them again when I have a little less distraction! The flavor was so good. And I have plenty of butternut squash to make another batch soon… Thanks so much!!

Hi Tina,

Thank you for pointing this out to me, I fixed the instructions to indicate when they are added.

Cheers, Zoë

When do you add the chocolate and the nutmeg that the recipe ingredients list but don’t account for in the instructions.
