Anyone for a scone?

My pumpkin post generated a lot of comment as there was much discussion and debate about when such a thing is a pumpkin and when it is a squash. I decided it seems to be mostly the colour that decides so yellow and orange fruit are pumpkins and other colours are squash, except for the butternut which is yellow but known as a squash.Oh well, there always has to be an exception.
Anyway, all the pumpkin/squash talk got me motivated so we've had pumpkin soup for lunch and now here are the pumpkin scones I made a while ago. There are not as 'orange' as some but they're tasty and that's the main thing. Shall I save you one – or maybe two?

I refuse to call them 'biscuits'! 
I'm already calling butternut pumpkins 'squashes' and that's as far as I'm prepared to go. 
Anyway they're scones in the UK and here. I think the US 'biscuit' is very slightly different but I'm not sure of that.

They look delicious, I have never had a pumpkin scone, I have only eaten pumpkin in bread, muffins or pies.
My husband likes squash soup, but I've not succeed in making any, he's enjoyed his while we've been dining out.
I'll be happy if you save me a scone.

Keep it simple, pumpkin is a type of squash, the squash is a fruit and it grows on a vine. Now what makes them different (besides a different colour) is the stem., the one of the pumpkin is stiff and spiky, all the seeds, both squash and pumpkin are edible, but those of pumpkins have a more nutty flavor. Save a scone for me.

I'd love a scone....I guess I'll be making my own. Even if I could leave right this minute, it wouldn't be fresh when I fan ally arrived to enjoy it. (It would also be one of the most expensive snacks ever)

I have not heard of either pumpkin soup or scones. We only prepare dry dish with pumpkin with lots of tomatoes, onions and ginger in it. Scones look yummy and I just cannot resist to take one.

@JudyEv Pumpkin dishes are generally not available in restaurants, as it is not favorite of majority of people who go out for dining.
Thanks
. I am waiting for my scone to arrive.

@dpk262006 Oh no!!! I'm so sorry! We ate the last one today! 
I love pumpkin .... ever try empanadas?
Oh, those look like biscuits or dinner rolls, somehow I always thought scones would be more like the flaky pastry shaped a little differently.@rebelann (117226)

So all this time I've been eatin scones @JudyEv ?
Do you ever make empanadas?
Back in the old days when mom would take us to Mexico .... we're only a few miles from Juarez .... she'd buy them for us, they usually have all kinds of jellies and jams in them but my favorite was the pumpkin.

Yes do save me a couple please Judy.
I am in love with scones.
I remember them the really nice fresh ones with clotted Devon cream in England at tea time.

@JudyEv I love it Judy..though it is too rich for some tastes. Yes well, one would not need jam and cream for pumpkin scones.

@TiarasOceanView I grew up on a farm where there was always lots of milk and cream. I never find cream too rich.

@optimisticbeauty It does have some sugar in it so they are a little bit sweet.
