Dear Bev and other Friends,
I bought a beautiful big pie pumpkin from the market. I'd like to make
something besides pumpkin pie, or plain cooked pumpkin (which we like as a
veg.) - anyone got a different recipe to share? sweet or savoury ...
please send to the chat list ;)
Here's my Mum's Pumkin Scones.
She was Jean Emily COLLYER (Nee McGARVIE) [1918 - 1993] of
Pomborneit, Victoria, Australia
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups of Self Raising Flour
- about 250gm butter or margarine
- 1 cup of cooked mashed pumpkin
- big pinch of salt
- milk to form a dough
Method:-
- sift flour and salt into bowl (I usually don't bother)
- break butter or margarine into teaspoons sized chunks and using
your fingers rub it into the flour until all gone.
- mix in mashed pumpkin
- use milk to make the dough the right consistency for rolling out
- don't roll too thin - about half to 3/4 of an inch
- I use a small drinking glass dipped in flour to cut out scones.
- glaze tops with a finger dipped in milk
- bake in a hot oven (around 550F) for about 10 - 12 minutes.
Eat hot and buttered - yummoohhhhh
Variations:-
INSTEAD of pumpkin:-
- add a cup of grated cheese, then put some more on top. When making
cheese scones, I also add a big pinch of cayenne pepper, or ground hot chilli.
- OR a cup of chopped dates. If using dates, you might like to add
some sugar to the original dough recipe.
