Pumpkin and ginger beer scones

Pumpkin and ginger beer scones

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) cream
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (peeled, steamed and mashed)
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) ginger beer
  • milk, for glazing

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).
Mix flour, sugar and ginger together. Form a well in the centre and add cream and pumpkin puree. Using a flat bladed knife, cut wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Gradually add ginger beer until it forms a soft dough. The mixture should hold together but not be sticky.
Turn dough onto a board and using lightly floured hands, pat into a rectangle about 2-3cm thick. Cut out rounds using a 5-6cm scone cutter or a glass.
Place scones on a tray and brush tops with milk, then bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden on the top.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
