Pumpkin scones
The famous (pumpkin) scone recipe that's still made on the Bjelke-Petersens' Queensland property. Lady Flo's daughter-in-law Karen has taken over the baking duties.

Serves:12
Degree of difficulty:Low
Cooking Time:15min

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup mashed pumpkin (cold)
2 cups self-raising flour

Method

Beat together butter, sugar and salt with electric mixer till light and fluffy.

Add egg, then pumpkin and stir in the flour.

Turn dough onto a floured board and cut into circles.

Place on a tray on the top shelf of a very hot oven (225-250c) for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven, allow to cool and serve with butter.

Florence, Lady Bjelke-Petersen (born Florence Isabel Gilmour 11 August 1920) is an Australian retired politician and writer. She was a member of the Australian Senate from 1981 to 1993, and is the widow of the longest-serving Premier of Queensland, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

For a savoury version (my suggestion), reduce sugar content, add capsicum and chilli peppers :-)
