Butter-free Sweet Potato and Sesame Scone

I've made various versions of scones based on nokko.t san's recipe "Flaky Scones Made Easy with Cooking Oil".This time I just happened to receive a lot of sweet potatoes, so I thought I'd like to try a sweet potato version of the scone. It was a big success!
- You can use either olive oil or vegetable oil. I've used half and half mixtures as well.
- Oh no! I put the flour in without sifting. It'll be OK if you just mix everything in evenly in step 4.
- When spreading out the dough you can use a rolling pin but spreading it with your hands works as well.
- These scones are moderately sweet. Recipe by Kaeha

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the sweet potato, cut into 1 cm thick sections, then soak in water for 10 minutes.
- 2
Put the drained sweet potatoes into a heat-safe container, cover loosely with saran wrap, then microwave until a toothpick can go right through the potatoes (about 6 minutes at 500 watts).
- 3
Once the potatoes have become soft, mash them with a fork or potato masher while they are still hot. It's ok if some clumps remain.
- 4
Put the ingredients marked ● into the bowl with the potatoes then use a rubber spatula to mix together with a cutting motion. The mixture should once again look clumpy.
- 5
Add in the olive or vegetable oil and milk and then press firmly with your hand to form a dough ball. Take the dough out of the bowl and put onto a board that has been floured (not in the ingredients).
- 6
About this time, preheat your oven to 200°C.
- 7
Spread out the dough from step 5 until it's thickness is about 2 cm then fold over 3 times. Repeat this process about 8 times.
- 8
Finally, spread the dough out to about 2.5 cm thickness and then either cut into the desired shape or use a cookie cutter. Bake in the oven at 200° celsius for about 20-25 minutes.
- 9
When the scones becomes a delicious looking golden brown they are done♡. The scones will brown differently depending on your oven so may need to adjust the baking time.

I made these by using a cup to cut out the shape. They plumped up nicely and turned out quite lovely.

For Sweet Potato Lovers: Scones For a Light Snack For Sweet Potato Lovers: Scones For a Light Snack
I like both scones and sweet potatoes, so I made this. Adding in cinnamon sugar changes the flavor and gives you another taste to enjoy. I got this idea from Cookie Shias' "Sweet Potato Milk Boil American" ID: 1377062.Please add more soy milk in Step 4 until it forms into one lump. When freezing the dough, cut it after letting it sit once in the fridge and store it to make it convenient to use. Please let sit for about 10 minutes to return it to room temperature and then bake. Plead adjust the baking time by keeping an eye on the color. Each piece is about 120 calories. For 12 triangles. Recipe by Yukirusan cookpad.japan -
Subtly Sweet, Easy-to-Make Scones Subtly Sweet, Easy-to-Make Scones
This is an easy scone I've been baking since I was a newlywed.I now make them often as a snack for my children.If you plan to serve them as is, use more sugar, or if you plan to serve them with jam, use less.This recipe is good for those with food allergies, since it doesn't require eggs, and you can substitute soy milk for milk.There's nothing much to it.You can adjust the amount of ingredients to taste.Adding a generous amount of cake flour will make a chewy and substantial scone, which would be good for breakfast.On the other hand, if you want a light tasting scone, then don't add any extra cake flour.
