I made these yesterday for afternoon tea ds8 declared them the best scones he has ever eaten and that I was an awesome scone maker :-)

[Mama Fergie]

This is the only recipe I use when making scones. Perfect every time. My mum loves them so I usually make 2 batches. She keeps them in her freezer and pops them out when she has visitors .

Love them also.  Topped the last lot with cheese.  Leftovers reheated in AF.

If I was to add pumpkin to these scones, how much pumpkin should I add? Also would I pre-cook the pumpkin? Thanks
 

[achookwoman]

Michelle,  I would add about 1/2 cup cooked mashed pumpkin and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Oh Dear.  How does one tell their long gone Granny that she has been usurped?  I always use my Mum's recipe handed down from her Mum (both gone now) but this morning was looking at a 200ml carton of Long Life Cream nearly at its use by date and decided to make these.  So easy and tasty,  cut with MC and made 20 so plenty to freeze and reheat for unexpected guests.

Yes Densier,  not a word.  These are the ones I make with the GC.  They measure,  work the TMX,  I bake,  they eat.

Yes Kezza,  it is wonderful.  We get so much pleasure from them.

My Grandbaby is 17 months old and loves sitting on the bench putting ingredients into the TMX.  As soon as I put the lid on and lock it he goes "beep beep beep"   so cute.

That is cute Deniser.

He obviously isn't worried by the noise the Thermi makes Deniser.   Toddlers are so gorgeous with what they come out with.

[achookwoman]

Densier,  he sure knows his TMX.   They catch on so fast.
