• 1 egg
• 1 TBSPN honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• curry powder to taste (about 1 TBSPN)
• ground ginger to taste (about 1-2 tsp)
• 1/4 cup canned pumpkin

Mix all of the above in a bowl. Then add: 

• 1 TBSPN baking powder
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped dried figs*
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup bread flour (or 2/3 bread flour and 1/3 oatmeal)

Knead in the bowl until well mixed and collected in a ball. Flatten the ball on a foil lined pie plate (preferably glass). Cut into six pieces. Back for 30-40 minutes.

*If you toss the chopped figs in flour before adding, then they won’t stick together. 

It’s important to cut the scones or they will be too moist in the center.

Also, you can either brush the tops with beaten egg (for a shiny top) or honey (for added sweetness).
