Delicious Sweet Potato Scones Recipe - Easy to Make

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Ensure the oven is fully heated for even baking.
2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

   Sifting the flour can help make the scones lighter.
3. 3

   Cut in Butter

   Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, and beaten egg until well combined.

   Make sure the sweet potatoes are smooth for a better texture.
5. 5

   Form the Dough

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

   The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
6. 6

   Shape the Scones

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a cookie cutter.

   For a rustic look, you can simply cut into squares.
7. 7

   Bake

   Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

   Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

   Enjoy with butter or your favorite jam.
