Ingredients
Scone Ingredients
50gm butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
500gm McCain Sweet Potato, steamed,
mashed and cooled
2 cups plain flour
2 teas baking powder
Maple Butter Ingredients
2 tbls pure maple syrup
100gm butter, room temperature
Method
In a large bowl whisk together butter, sugar, salt and egg until light and fluffy. Stir in the mash and combine well. Sift in flour and baking powder and mix into batter until just combined. Dough should be slightly sticky. On a baking paper lined tray drop the dough in 2 tablespoon mounds 5cm apart. Place in a preheated 200c oven for 10 – 12 minutes or until scones are lightly browned. While the scones are baking make the butter by whisking the syrup into the butter.
Chef’s Tip
For a spicier soup add a pinch of dried chili flakes or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
