1 1/3 cups Wheat Berries I used Einkorn
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Egg
2 tsp Pumpkin Spice
2 tbsp Honey Optional
1/4 cup Milk Only use if the dough is too dry and crumbly after adding the pumpkin mixture. May need if using Hard Wheat.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Mill your wheat berries on a the finest setting of your grain mill.
Add the salt and baking soda to the flour and mix well.
Pour the olive oil over the flour mixture and mix until you get coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, add the pumpkin puree, egg, honey (if using), and pumpkin spice. Mix until well combined.
Pour this mixture over the flour mixture and mix until just combined. You are looking for a moist but workable dough.
If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add the milk a little at a time until the dough just comes together and stays together without crumbling.
Line a small baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and place the scone dough on the paper.
Take your hands and shape the dough into a circle that is 1/2-3/4 inch thick.
Use either a sharp knife or a bench scraper and cut the circle in half, then each half in half, and then once more each half into a half which makes 8 rectangular scones.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Cool on a cooling rack completely before storing.
Optionally, you can brush the tops with heavy cream before baking.

Store cooled scones in an airtight container for 3-4 days on the counter.

Freeze in freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

To really amp up these scones, drizzle with a pumpkin spice icing.
