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
- 1Preheat 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.
- 2Remove flesh from feijoas, chop, and add to the flour mix with the buttermilk. Stir or pulse to combine.
- 3Knead 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.
- 4Meanwhile, 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.
