- Cool on a wire rack, or eat warm.
MAPLE CINNAMON SWEET POTATO SCONES WITH PECANS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F or 200°C Spray/Line a flat baking/cookie tray/sheet.

Add the sweet potato, and cut it in as well; then stir in the cinnamon, pecans, and cinnamon chips. Next, add to the buttermilk, the maple syrup and vanilla, and add this to the dry mixture, and stir well. If necessary, add extra milk, a tablespoon at a time to the mix until a soft dough is reached, and then transfer dough to a floured surface and knead slightly, until smooth.

- Combine sugar and cinnamon together, grind in some nutmeg. Mix.
- Brush tops with milk and then dust with cinnamon nutmeg sugar.

SWEET POTATO SCONES
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. I typically just make "drop" scones, but if you want to make a more traditional cut scone, refrigerate batter so it is easier to roll-out. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 15 - 17 minutes. Remove scones from the oven, wait for 5 minutes and drizzle with 1 Tablespoon glaze.

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.
