Ingredients
- 6 oz butternut squash 170g, peeled and de-seeded weight
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 175g plain flour
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- 3 tablespoon butter 3oz/38g, unsalted
- ¼ cup gruyere cheese 15g, grated (relatively well packed if finely grated, loose if coarser
- ¼ cup buttermilk 60ml
- black pepper few grinds
Instructions
- Dice the squash then steam until tender, around 10 min. Allow to cool a little then mash or blend until relatively smooth.
- Put the flour, baking powder, salt and ginger in a food processor and pulse a couple time to mix.
- Add the butter (cut in small pieces), cheese, buttermilk, pepper and squash and pulse until combined but try not to overmix. If you don't have a food processor, you can cut the butter in with a pastry cutter then mix the rest in by hand.
- Tip the mixture out onto a floured surface, flatten slightly to around ½-3/4in thick. You can cut them roughly if you prefer, or use a round scone cutter as I did here. I got 6 medium round biscuits, but you may get more/less depending how you cut them.
- Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet and bake at 375-400F/190C for approx 20 min until just starting to brown.
