From Enjoying the Art of Canadian Cooking by
Mme. Jehane Benoit; c1974; ISBN 0-919364-75-6.

Hallie's comments: Madame Benoit was an institution in
Canadian cooking circles for many years, appearing on
radio and television as well as many fairs and exhibition
across the country. She also wrote several cookbooks.
The Canadian Governor-General made her an Officer of
the Order of Canada in 1974. I had the pleasure of
meeting her once and found her every bit the gracious
lady she was reputed to be. I have not tried this recipe
but have made other pumpkin soups.

  Pumpkin Scones

Recipe By : Edmonton Journal Food Section
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : FareShare Chat 007

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

  1 tablespoon softened butter -- [15mL]
  1/2 cup sugar -- [125mL]
  Grated zest of 1/2 orange
  3/4 cup steamed mashed pumpkin -- [175mL]
  1 egg -- well-beaten
  3 cups self-raising flour -- [750mL]
  1/2 teaspoon nutmeg -- [2mL], optional
  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon -- [2mL], optional

Preheat oven to 425F [220C]. Grease a baking pan.

Cream the butter, sugar and orange zest together in a bowl.
Stir in the mashed pumpkin and the well-beaten egg.

Sift the dry ingredients together and stir them into the
pumpkin mixture. You can add a little milk if the mixture
is too dry. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured
surface and pat out to a thickness of 1 1/2 inches [4cm].

Cut rounds with a floured cutter or glass. Place the
rounds closely together on the prepared pan and
bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Always pack them close together for baking so that they
rise well.
