MAPLE CINNAMON SWEET POTATO SCONES WITH PECANS



Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potato Scones With Pecans image

This is a redo of a savory recipe I've made from I'm Pat, for a Gluten Free Kumara Damper, which inspired me to modify this recipe into a sweet(ish) scone, made with cinnamon, pecans, a bit of brown sugar and maple syrup, and for those who don't have self-rising flour handy, include the measurements for the baking powder and salt. I've also changed the flour, using part oat flour, and part all purpose or whole wheat, your choice - although use your imagination, or what's on hand. The ones in the photo were made with all-purpose and oat flour. You can make oat flour by whirring some oats in your grinder until they resemble flour. I love oat flour!! These are a real favourite at home! Merlin and Arwen (my parrots), negotiate for as much of the sweet potato as they can - generally the rule is that they can have all but 1/2 cup of it. When the scones come out of the oven is another story!! I hope you like my version of them - feel free to change it up as you'd like to.

1 cup of sweet potato puree (must be cold)
¼ cup whole milk (or half and half)
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla

2 cups white flour
½ cup wheat flour

Steps:

  • Bake 1 medium sweet potato - purée n a food processor with a bit of water (just enough to make the puree). Cool and refridgerate. Mix wet ingredients with whisk. Place dry ingredients in a food processor and add 3/4 cup cold butter (stick & a half) - chopped Pulse food processor until butter is the size of small peas. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix. Batter will be stiff but a bit sticky.

Tips:

  • Chilling the dough before baking helps to create a more tender scone.
  • Use cold butter for the scones. This will help to create a more flaky texture.
  • Grate the sweet potatoes finely. This will help them to blend into the dough more easily.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
  • Bake the scones until they are just golden brown. Overbaking will make them dry.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. These scones are moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste. They are also a good source of fiber and vitamins. If you are looking for a new and delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give these scones a try.
