Sounds good David, but is the temperature right? If I did that in my stove I am sure I would be taking out cinders. :-) Janice

She was Jean Emily COLLYER (Nee McGARVIE) [1918 - 1993] of Pomborneit, Victoria, Australia Ingredients - 2.5 cups of Self Raising Flour - about 250gm butter or margarine - 1 cup of cooked mashed pumpkin - big pinch of salt - milk to form a dough Method:- - sift flour and salt into bowl (I usually don't bother) - break butter or margarine into teaspoons sized chunks and using your fingers rub it into the flour until all gone. - mix in mashed pumpkin - use milk to make the dough the right consistency for rolling out - don't roll too thin - about half to 3/4 of an inch - I use a small drinking glass dipped in flour to cut out scones. - glaze tops with a finger dipped in milk - bake in a hot oven (around 550F) for about 10 - 12 minutes. Eat hot and buttered - yummoohhhhh Variations:- INSTEAD of pumpkin:- - add a cup of grated cheese, then put some more on top. When making cheese scones, I also add a big pinch of cayenne pepper, or ground hot chilli. - OR a cup of chopped dates. If using dates, you might like to add some sugar to the original dough recipe.
