Ingredients

  • 3 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 50 gram butter
  • 3 feijoas
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or milk acidulated with a drop of lemon juice
  • whipped cream, to serve
Fast feijoa jam
  • 1 cup feijoas (5-6 medium-sized fruit), finely chopped or puréed
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 210°C. Place flour, ginger, baking powder and sugar in a bowl or food processer. Mix to combine. Add butter then rub or pulse into fine crumbs.
  • 2
    Remove flesh from feijoas, chop, and add to the flour mix with the buttermilk. Stir or pulse to combine.
  • 3
    Knead just enough to bring dough into a ball. Roll on a floured board to 1.5cm thick. Cut into rounds; place on a cold, floured tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes until risen but barely coloured.

    Meanwhile, make Fast feijoa jam (see below). Serve scones with the Fast feijoa jam and cream.

Don’t knead as you would bread; squeeze it together and get it into the oven quickly to maximise the rising. - This paleo-friendly jam is lower in sugar than most store-bought jams. Store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks. It’s delicious on pikelets or stirred into yoghurt.
