Cheese and Pumpkin Scones
By meccanica on 25 May 2010 | Viewed 5096 times
This recipe is based on Teresa’s excellent Kumara Scones, but came about because I didn’t have all the ingredients and needed to make do. It worked out extremely well but hasn’t been tested again yet.
Ingredients
1C White rice flour
2/3C Potato starch flour
4tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Sugar
1/4tsp Salt
30g Butter
1/3C Pumpkin, cold, cooked, mashed and sieved
2/3C Milk
1C grated cheese approx
Extra flour for dusting oven tray.
Method
Preheat oven to 220oC. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the buttermilk, kumara and the melted butter and cheese. Stir until smooth. Add most of the cheese (save a little for sprinkling on top) and stir in. Leave dough/batter to set a while (approx 5 minutes). Place on a dusted baking tray. Sprinkle the top with the left over cheese.
Bake for 15 - 20mins (fanbake times).
Makes 4-8 (depending on how you slice it once out of the oven).

Hi Lois, Potato Starch flour ( or just Potato Starch) is explained here in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_starch_flour - essentially it is a flour made from the carbohydrate part of potatoes.
You can buy it at places like Bin Inn and some supermarkets.
