Ingredients
- 5 oz parsnip peeled weight (5oz is ½ cup puree)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plain flour
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter 4tbsp is ½ stick, cut into chunks
- ¼ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Cut the parsnip into chunks and cook either by boiling or steaming until tender, around 10min. Blend to a puree (it's better to blend than mash as the central stem can be a bit tough). Remove any chunks that don't break up.
- Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
- In a food processor - pulse together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add the butter and pulse until you have fine breadcrumb texture. Add the buttermilk and parsnip puree and pulse a few times until combined and coming together but don't overmix.
- By hand - mix together the dry ingredients (as in food processor method) then rub in the butter. Add the buttermilk and parsnip puree and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- In both cases tip the mixture onto a floured surface and pat out the dough with floured hands, fold it over and pat out again to give you a layer around ¾in/ 2cm thick.
- Cut out circles with a cutter or glass, trying not to twist as you cut, and place the circles on a greased baking sheet/tray.
- Bake for around 12-15min until risen and lightly brown.
