The earthy flavor of squash gives these light and flaky scones a distinctive taste that goes so well with a number of savory accompaniments. Enjoy them with coffee or tea as a delicious alternative to sweet scones or serve them with an autumn harvest supper instead of the usual bread, rolls, or biscuits.
