Pumpkin spice scones
As we gradually move indoors to get out of the wilder weather and admire the scenery from a cosier perspective, why not engage in a bit of baking and rustle up the perfect seasonal pumpkin spice goodies? Combine a British classic with added autumnal warmth and spice and make pumpkin spice scones!
Ingredients
450g self-raising flour (keep some extra for rolling)
100g cold butter
50g golden caster sugar
1–2 teaspoons pumpkin spice – or mix ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ginger, a grind of nutmeg and pinch of allspice
200g cooked pumpkin
80–100ml milk
Butter or cream cheese flavoured with cinnamon to serve
Method
· Pre-heat your oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7.
· Place your self-raising flour in a bowl and grate in the butter.
· Get a butter knife and combine the butter with the flour before adding the golden caster sugar and pumpkin spice.
· Add the cooked pumpkin and 80ml milk to the mixture and combine everything together (add more milk if needed).
· Lightly flour a clean surface and tip the mixture onto it. Lightly bring it together with your hands a few times.
· Roll out the mixture until it’s 4cm thick, use a 7cm cutter and cut out shapes, re-shaping the trimmings until you’ve used all the dough.
· Place the cut-out pieces on a lightly floured backing sheet brush the tops with milk.
· Bake the scones for 10–12 minutes until they’re risen and lightly browned.
Create the perfect cosy moment
It’s all about the little touches and thoughtful details that make those warm moments truly heartfelt and memorable.
Tabletops – setting the stylish scene
Autumn is the perfect time to co-ordinate your table décor and let your creativity shine. Start by putting the season at the centre – literally – with a beautiful seasonal centrepiece. Think rustic charm: seasonal plants, a mix of pumpkins, dried flowers, pine cones or even a handcrafted autumn wreath.
Elevate your setting further by choosing a colour scheme that celebrates the season. Those gorgeous oranges, golds, burgundies and rich browns are back once again – and for good reason. Match them with elegant cutlery from our Avalon collection in champagne finish for a look that’s timeless and inviting.
And why stop there? Bring a touch of nature to your table with decorative branches, foliage or even a scattering of autumn leaves – it’s all about layering textures and tones to create warmth and wonder.
Displays – bringing autumn to the table
Looking to highlight the season even more? Try creating a decorative tray display using the rich bounty of autumn. Fill it with apples, pears, pomegranates, mini pumpkins, dried citrus slices and a bit of natural foliage. Our wide choice of decorative trays are the perfect holders for such an occasion – browse them here!
And complete your set-up with beautifully matched napkins, tablecloths and placemats, and add a refined touch with our napkin rings – little details that make a big difference.
Ambience – let it glow
Candlelight isn’t just for romance – it’s the ultimate way to add warmth and atmosphere to any autumn gathering. Whether it’s a family dinner or a quiet evening in, candles help turn any meal into a moment.
Our collection of stunning candlesticks are designed to enhance the cosy feel of the season. Cluster them at the centre of your table or dot them around the room for a soft, ambient glow that makes everyone feel at home.
