Pumpkin & Feta Scones
Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C (fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the pumpkin in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain well, mash until smooth and set aside to cool.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cumin in a large bowl.
- Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gently fold through the crumbled feta.
- Add the warm milk and mashed pumpkin. Mix using a flat bladed knife until a soft dough forms and then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together with your hands to form a soft dough.
- Gently press or roll the dough out to 2.5cm thick and cut 6 scones using a round 6 cm cutter. Brush the tops with milk and place onto the baking tray and bake for 12 – 15 minutes, or until golden.
- Serve warm with spreadable
