Butter-free Sweet Potato and Sesame Scone

  1. Peel the sweet potato, cut into 1 cm thick sections, then soak in water for 10 minutes.
  2. 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).
  3. Once the potatoes have become soft, mash them with a fork or potato masher while they are still hot.
  4. It's ok if some clumps remain.
  5. Put the ingredients marked into the bowl with the potatoes then use a rubber spatula to mix together with a cutting motion.
  6. The mixture should once again look clumpy.
  7. Add in the olive or vegetable oil and milk and then press firmly with your hand to form a dough ball.
  8. Take the dough out of the bowl and put onto a board that has been floured (not in the ingredients).
  9. About this time, preheat your oven to 200C.
  10. Spread out the dough from step 5 until it's thickness is about 2 cm then fold over 3 times.
  11. Repeat this process about 8 times.
  12. Finally, spread the dough out to about 2.5 cm thickness and then either cut into the desired shape or use a cookie cutter.
  13. Bake in the oven at 200 celsius for about 20-25 minutes.
  14. When the scones becomes a delicious looking golden brown they are done.
  15. The scones will brown differently depending on your oven so may need to adjust the baking time.
  16. I made these by using a cup to cut out the shape.
  17. They plumped up nicely and turned out quite lovely.
  18. There is a banana version too!
