Kumara, apple and cheddar scones

2 cups wholemeal atta flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
60g butter
1 cup vintage cheddar
1/2 cup low-fat organic milk
1 tsp caster sugar
1 cup stewed apple & sweet potato (you could vary your veggie mash- include some fruit and some veg for a flavour balance)
A little extra flour for dusting
Egg for egg wash

Preheat oven to 180'c

In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and sugar and stir to combine. Add butter and use your fingertips to rub together until you have the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add mashed veggies, cheddar and milk and use a wooden spoon to incorporate. Do not over mix it as your scones will be tough. Once incorporated, turn dough into a lightly floured bench top and roll until you have a slab around 3cm high. Cut into rounds. (I just love the sound it makes as you push the cup through the dough!)

Place each circular piece of dough onto a flat baking tray, lined with baking paper. Once finished, egg wash and bake for around 20 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on your oven but you'll know they're done when they're golden and springy. Test one by slicing in half and serving with a lovely farm-fresh butter.

I had to tell my son they were "muffins" but he quickly devoured two so, slight mummy tricking aside, these are a "ten out of ten, must make again" for me.
