Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 60 g butter cold, diced
  • 1/2 cup macadamias roasted, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup bush tomatoes finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin cooked, mashed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk plus extra, for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl, stir in the sugar. Use your fingers to rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir through the macadamias and bush tomatoes.
  • Make a well in the centre and pour in the pumpkin and buttermilk. Using a flat bladed knife, stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gently roll dough out to a 2cm thickness.
  • Cut into rounds with a 6cm cutter, dipping the cutter into the flour each time before cutting. Place the scones close together on the lined baking tray. Brush the tops with a little buttermilk and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped on top.
