Sweet Potato Scones


I made 4 from half the mix they were quite large

125g plain flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½  teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, cubed
200g mashed sweet potatoes

1 egg

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, mustard and salt. Rub the butter into the flour, using your fingers, until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Mix in the mashed sweet potatoes, and the egg to make a soft dough.
  3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and roll or pat out to 1/2 cm thickness. Cut into circles using a scone cutter or a drinking glass. Place scones 2.5cm apart onto a greased baking tray.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
