Make Pumpkin Scones

I originally put this on the halloween page, but as I'll be taking that page down, thought I'd put some of the pumpkin recipes up here, as they are still in season. This is a really nice, simple recipe.
INGREDIENTS
50g/ 2oz pumpkin puree (make in the same way as other recipes)
1 egg
2 egg yolks
Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
50g/2oz self-raising flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50ml condensed milk
METHOD–
The oven needs to be set at gas 6/200 C/400 F. – Grease a baking sheet and heat in the oven, whilst doing this blend all the ingredients together in a food processor. – Place spoonfuls of the mixture on the baking sheet and gently push flat. – Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, till they rise and turn golden.
