Ingredients:

- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with the oil and sugar until well combined.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.
-
Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture, stirring until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as it can lead to tough scones.
-
Roll Out Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it out until it’s about 1/2-inch thick.
-
Cut Scones: Using a 2-inch cutter, cut the dough into rounds and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each scone for expansion.
-
Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These sweet potato scones are best enjoyed warm with a spread of butter or jam.
-
Enjoy: Serve these delightful sweet potato scones for breakfast, brunch, or as a delicious snack any time of the day! They’re perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Notes:
- Variations: Feel free to customize these scones by adding your favorite spices or nuts to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
