Butter-free Sweet Potato and Sesame Scone
Ingredients:
sweet potato, raw, unprepared
wheat flour, white, cake, enriched
wheat flours, bread, unenriched
leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate
sugars, granulated
seeds, sesame seeds, whole, dried
oil, olive, salad or cooking
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
Directions:
Peel the sweet potato, cut into 1 cm thick sections, then soak in water for 10 minutes.
Put the drained sweet potatoes into a heat-safe container, cover loosely with saran wrap, then microwave until a toothpick can go right through the potatoes (about 6 minutes at 500 watts).
Once the potatoes have become soft, mash them with a fork or potato masher while they are still hot.
It's ok if some clumps remain.
Put the ingredients marked into the bowl with the potatoes then use a rubber spatula to mix together with a cutting motion.
The mixture should once again look clumpy.
Add in the olive or vegetable oil and milk and then press firmly with your hand to form a dough ball.
Take the dough out of the bowl and put onto a board that has been floured (not in the ingredients).
About this time, preheat your oven to 200C.
Spread out the dough from step 5 until it's thickness is about 2 cm then fold over 3 times.
Repeat this process about 8 times.
Finally, spread the dough out to about 2.5 cm thickness and then either cut into the desired shape or use a cookie cutter.
Bake in the oven at 200 celsius for about 20-25 minutes.
When the scones becomes a delicious looking golden brown they are done.
The scones will brown differently depending on your oven so may need to adjust the baking time.
I made these by using a cup to cut out the shape.
They plumped up nicely and turned out quite lovely.
There is a banana version too!
