PUMPKIN SCONE LOAF
Pumpkin scones were made famous by Lady Flo - the wife of a former Queensland premier. This recipe makes a loaf rather than individual scones, and would be lovely as an accompaniment to soup or for afternoon tea. Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftover slices can be toasted under the grill. NB Aust measurements: 1 tbl = 20ml, 1 tsp = 5ml, 1 cup = 250ml From Super Food Ideas magazine.
