Vege Scones

These are a great way to sneak vegetables in to your or your children’s diets.

Containing vitamin A and D as well as calcuim, iron and potassium.

My friends 2 year old, who has recently gone off all vegetables really seemed to really enjoy them (not even notice them) in these scones.

They are easy and you can vary the vegetables to what is available or taste preference, and because you use a fraction of the butter, they are a healthier choice.

You could use alternative gluten free flour such as almond meal or rice flour. Try adding a little more baking soda as these flours tend to make the scones more dense.
