- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Always ensure all your ingredients are measured accurately and prepared in advance to make the process smoother.
- Ingredient Quality: Use top-notch, fresh ingredients to create moist and flavorful scones. Fresh pumpkin puree and buttermilk add an extra layer of richness.
- Pumpkin Puree: For a smooth and consistent texture, blend the pumpkin puree until it's perfectly smooth before mixing it with other ingredients.
- Butter: Make sure the butter is cold and firm before incorporating it into the dough. This will help create a flaky, tender texture in the scones.
- Mixing: Avoid overmixing the dough. Mix until just combined to prevent tough scones. Gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Chilling: Chilling the dough before cutting and baking is crucial. This chilling step ensures the scones hold their shape while baking and helps develop their flavor.
- Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to the right temperature to achieve the perfect balance between a crispy exterior and a tender, moist interior.
- Glaze: For a glossy, professional-looking finish, brush the tops of the scones with a simple glaze of maple syrup, milk, or even melted butter before baking.
