Pumpkin scones.

I feel like jelssie has been neglected again, so here is some love. A recipe I cooked on the weekend. It's a staple of mine, when it's cheap pumpkin season.

• 1 cup of cooked mashed pumpkin minimum. More is better. I usually use butternut.
• 1 egg
• 2.5 cups of self raising flour
• 60 grams of butter or margarine. A lump as big as the egg.
• milk

1. Chop up pumpkin, cook it in the microwave (I put it in a covered bowl with a little water and steam it then drain it) then mash it with a fork.
2. Mash the butter into the pumpkin. Salt and pepper if you wish.
3. Add the egg and beat it with the fork.
4. Add the flour, adding milk as needed to moisten.
5. Put it in a greased square baking tin. You can just put it in in one great lump like a loaf or cake, or you can dollop it in as per the traditional scone.
6. Bake in a moderate oven for about 30 minutes, until it's just starting to brown.
