Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and pumpkin purée until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes until it is no longer tacky, forming it into a disc about ¾ inch thick.
  4. Cut the disc into 8 triangles and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, keeping them slightly joined in the center.
  5. Whisk together milk and oil, then brush this mixture over the tops of the scones and sprinkle sugar on top.
  6. Bake for 17-20 minutes until light golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  7. In a small pot, combine sugar, milk, and butter for the glaze and cook until thickened.
  8. Drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled scones and let it set before serving.
