Pumpkin and Glazed Ginger Scones

These pumpkin scones with the addition of glazed ginger are enjoyable any time of the day.


Ingredients make 14 scones

600 g self raising flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground ginger
200 g cooked, cold and mashed pumpkin
130 g brown sugar
100 g cream
200 g soda water or lemonade
80 g finely chopped glazed ginger

Method

Preheat oven to 200ºC fan forced (220ºC normal bake). Place flour, salt and ground ginger in a bowl and combine. Place pumpkin puree and brown sugar into a separate bowl. Add cream, soda water and chopped glazed ginger. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and mix until combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into a 3 cm thickness. Cut the scones with a 5cm scone cutter and transfer to a lightly floured tray or baking paper lined tray with space in between. Bake for approx 12 min. until golden brown on top and dust with icing sugar.


Note: Try adding dried fruit such as dates, sultanas or currants.
