Sweet Potato Scones 
Fresh and hot right out of the oven!
The sugar gives it a nice, pretty texture on top
Oh, the moist, delicious insides calling to me…
1 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 c mashed cooked sweet potatoes
3 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet; set aside. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a medium-size bowl; stir in sugar. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix potatoes and half of the melted butter with a fork. Add dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough. Divide dough into two balls and place spaced apart on baking sheet. Pat dough with your hands to make two rounds about 1/2-inch thick. Score the rounds into as many scones as you’d like–I divide mine into four. Brush tops with remaining melted butter. Bake about 20 minutes or until light brown. Split and serve warm with butter and honey. Makes 8 good-sized scones.

OH GOD, I WANNIT.
I decided that I wanted to make pumpkin cupcakes with maple buttercream frosting for Thanksgiving (and chocolate chip cookies…hell, my mum and I seriously just want desserts) but these look so good!
SOO GOOOD.

:) delicious…i made these tonight. Decided to go more savoury…added grated cheese and some herbs…fantastic. Thank you for the recipe.

Yeah, that was one thing I loved about this recipe–it’s versatility. I made it sweeter another time, so it was definitely a dessert. And I can see it going fabulously with cheese included! I’ll have to try it more savory myself next time. :)
You’re quite welcome, and thank YOU for sharing your experience with it! :D

Just made this recipe. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
My alterations:
add 1/3 cup plain yogurt

add 1/2 tsp nutmeg
add 1/2 tsp cinnamon
sugar = 2 Tbsp
brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
baked 23 min, could have gone a few more minutes.
