How to Make Toddlers Sweet Potato Scones
- Rub together the butter, baking powder and flour, encourage your children to squidge it all together as described for quiches.
- When you have a breadcrumb like texture stir in the sugar and mashed sweet potato. Add the milk slowly until you have a nice, firm dough.
- Roll out the dough until it is as fat as an adult’s finger and cut your shapes. If your child is slightly suspicious of new foods it’s amazing what a star or heart shape will do for encouraging them to try!
- Cook in a pre-heated oven at 220°C / 430°F for 12-15 minutes until cooked throughout.
