Halloween has arrived!!! For some reason I have been eagerly anticipating this exciting 'holiday' where people have the chance to dress up like idiots in anything vaguely scary (although putting a sheet over your head and making weird mooing noises hardly constitutes a scare, more a mental disorder). I'll be honest though, for although I do slate Halloween to many people I have a soft spot for it, and that is not just because of the trick or treating (...of course I don't trick or treat, but I like to tip buckets of water on unsuspecting children's head's when they are becoming too persistent), it is for the simple fact that food has the permission to go a bit wacky, and shops bring out special 'limited edition' chocolate bars etc in 'Halloween goo' and 'bubbling blood' flavours (i.e. orange or strawberry). I'm not going to make you drool any longer, so get set for the spookiest and simplest Halloween snacks in the world....Pumpkin flavoured scones!
This amount of ingredients will serve between 2 and 4 people, or just 2 if you are needing something tasty to scoff while watching 'Halloween' reruns at midnight!
5og/ 9oz Pumpkin Puree
1 whole egg
2 free range egg yolks
I vanilla pod, seeds only (not that horrid stalky thing)
50g/1 1/2 oz self raising flour (that sounds like magic)
1 tbsp cinnamon
50 ml/ 2fl oz condensed milk (it's like 1945)
200g / 7 oz greek yoghurt
Method
Heat up the oven to 200 degrees/ gas 6. Grease a baking sheet and preheat in the oven. Place all the ingredients into the food processor and mush them all together. So simple! Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the preheated baking sheet, then flatten by gently pressing down on them with a spatula. Pop them into the oven for about 12 minutes until the scones are risen and nice and gold coloured. Then transfer them onto a servng plate with greek yoghurt.
So there you go, a tasty treat for halloween which can be enjoyed with friends, family, or even just the horror channel for company!
