Try them hot from the oven with butter, or you could go with your favourite chutney or relish and some cream cheese…

Ingredients:

1 Large Sweet Potato-grated

150 g of grounds almonds

100g Taleggio cheese (you can really use any cheese you like and Taleggio is quite strong and salty so adjust the salt content in the recipe for a less salty cheese)

2 tsp baking Powder

1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

2 tsp Smoked Paprika ( I used HOT, but do as you please!)

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 egg

Add the grated Sweet Potato to a blender/food processor and blend until you have a thick sort of puree or mush…

Pop this into a bowl and add the flour, Paprika, Bicarb, Baking soda and salt and give it a quick stir, then add your egg and get in there with your hands and squelch it all together to make a dough. Quickly add the roughly chopped cheese, push into the dough.

Pop the dough onto a flat surface sprinkled with GF flour, and pat it down until it is a round and an inch or two thick. Get your scone cutter and (without twisting) cut out your scones and place onto a floured baking sheet and pop into a nice hot oven. Around 180-200 degrees C.

Bake for 15-20 mins and slather with butter/cream cheese and your favourite chutney.
