Cannabis Pumpkin Scones
Cannabis Pumpkin Scones. Approximately ~7mg THC per scone at full strength. 38 min total, 12 scones yield.
There’s nothing quite like the aroma of fresh pumpkin scones wafting from a country kitchen on a crisp autumn morning. This beloved Australian teatime treat gets a modern twist with the addition of cannabutter, transforming humble roasted pumpkin into a delightfully medicated afternoon indulgence that pairs beautifully with butter and golden syrup.
Each scone contains approximately 7mg THC when made with standard cannabutter (assuming our recipe yields 12 generous scones), making them perfect for a gentle, relaxing experience.

Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. If you haven’t already, roast your pumpkin pieces at 200°C for 25-30 minutes until tender, then mash smoothly and set aside to cool.
Combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
Mix the mashed pumpkin, softened cannabutter, buttermilk, beaten egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl until well combined. The mixture should be smooth with no lumps of butter visible.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a butter knife or wooden spoon, mixing just until the dough comes together. Don’t overmix — the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. MagicalButter Machine MB2E
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 squares, or use a round cutter for traditional shapes.
Place scones on your prepared baking tray with sides just touching (they’ll support each other as they rise). Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through.
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter and your favourite jam or golden syrup. Digital Kitchen Scale (0.01g)
Perfect Pumpkin Prep
Roast your pumpkin the day before and store the mashed flesh in the fridge. This removes excess moisture and concentrates the flavour.
Half-Strength Option
Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter to reduce potency to ~3.5mg per scone — perfect for beginners or daytime dosing.
Temperature Matters
Keep your oven temperature steady at 220°C. Too low and they won’t rise properly; too high and they’ll brown before cooking through.
Spice Variations
Add a pinch of cardamom or allspice for extra warmth, or fold in chopped crystallised ginger for texture and zing.
Freezer Friendly
Unbaked scones freeze beautifully. Cut and freeze on trays, then bake from frozen adding 3-4 minutes to the cooking time.
Label Everything
Always label your finished scones with the date, THC content per piece, and total count. Cannabis edibles look identical to regular ones.
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 2 days | Airtight container, best texture |
| Refrigerated | 5 days | Wrap individually to prevent drying |
| Frozen | 3 months | Double-wrap in plastic then foil |

Absolutely! This is perfect for beginners or if you want lower-dose scones. Replace 35g of cannabutter with regular butter to reduce potency to approximately 3.5mg THC per scone. The texture and flavour will be identical.
Cannabis edibles typically take 30-120 minutes to take effect, with peak effects around 2-4 hours. Start with half a scone and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more. The fat content from the cannabutter and any butter you add when serving can affect absorption timing.
Yes, if you’re making your own cannabutter from scratch, decarboxylation is essential to activate the THC. Heat your ground cannabis at 115°C for 30-40 minutes before infusing into butter. If you’re buying ready-made cannabutter, this step is already done.
Sweet potato works beautifully as a 1:1 substitute and creates equally moist, flavourful scones. Roasted butternut squash is another excellent option. Avoid watery vegetables like zucchini as they’ll make the dough too wet.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Always label containers with contents, THC dosage per piece, and date made. For longer storage, individually wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
Stay calm and find a comfortable, safe place to wait it out. Drink water, try to rest, and remember that while uncomfortable, a cannabis overdose isn’t dangerous. Effects will pass. Call the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) if you’re concerned, or seek medical attention if you experience severe anxiety or panic.
