      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    6.Transfer mixture onto a well-floured surface or Thermomat and bring mixture together to form a round disc approx. 3cm high.

    7.Cut out 14 scones with a 4cm scone cutter, dipping your cutter in flour as you go. Transfer the scones onto the baking tray, placing so they just touch each other. This will help them rise. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with butter, or just as they are.

    Just made these and yummy! I had to add an extra 50g or therebouts of flour as it was very sticky and I only had 100g pumpkin so used 50g potato mash as well. I used yogurt instead of buttermilk as that is what I had. I'l definitely make these again, they were delicious. Thank you
