Pumpkin Scones (Thermomix)

Pumpkin Scones
(Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Legumes Free, Nut Free & Cane Sugar Free)

I love pumpkin scones! Even my daughter who does not like pumpkin loves Pumpkin Scones! This is my Mumma's recipe that I have altered.

Ingredients
150grams Cooked Pumpkin (I used Jap Pumpkin)
(*Note: Pumpkin can be cubed and cooked in the Thermomix basket or you can microwave it)
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Coconut Syrup
1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/2 teaspoon Bicarb Soda
100grams Coconut Flour
100grams Potato Starch (Sulphur Free)
50grams Arrowroot Starch (Sulphur Free)

Thermomix
Place all the above ingredients into the Thermomix bowl and blend on speed 10 for 20-30 seconds or until combined.

Place 6 x If You Care Jumbo Baking Cups into a large muffin tray. 
Spoon Mixture into trays. Bake in a Moderate (180) oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden on top and cooked through.

Enjoy!

I love mine with a little Nuttelex and
home made Plum Jam.

This recipe can easily be doubled and any left overs can be frozen to enjoy another day!

Grain, Nut & Legume Free Flour Mix

There are many differing mixes of Gluten free flours available but none which work for me. Most incorporate rice, corn/maize and various forms of legumes including beans, soy and peas. Nut flours/meals are also popular. I am allergic to all of those as well as guar gum which is also legume. Tapioca Starch is sometimes labelled as Arrowroot as they are very similar in their use but not in their plant family. So if you react to Tapioca like I do make sure you check that your Arrowroot is Arrowroot!

This is the flour mix I have come up with that I use as a general purpose plain flour mix.

To make Self Raising Flour add 1/2 teaspoon of bicarb soda and 1 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar per Cup of Flour.

I start by using the method described here to make Quinoa Flour.


In your Thermomix (or blender or if you don't have either a big bowl and then mix together!)
Add
300 grams of Quinoa Flour
300 grams of sulphur free Arrowroot Starch
600 grams of sulphur free Potato Starch
Using the Thermomix spatula through the hole in the lid
mix on speed 10 for 20-30 seconds
Tip into an airtight container.
I keep mine in the freezer - an old habit from living in north Queensland.

I also use Coconut Flour sometimes on its own and sometimes added to the above flour mix.
Just depends what I am making!
