Ingredients
  

  • 20 g golden syrup or honey
  • 30 g melted butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 50 g milk
  • 50 g plain or pumpkin yogurt
  • 120 g pumpkin puree
  • 16 g whole psyllium husk
  • 70 g millet flour
  • 90 g sorghum flour
  • 70 g tapioca starch
  • 70 g brown rice flour
  • 70 g oat flour
  • 35 g white sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp ginger, powdered
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Glaze

  • 50 g icing sugar
  • 2 tsp milk
  • 2 tsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Cut out some parchment paper to fit a pizza stone or a baking tray.
  • In a small sauce pan on low heat, combine the golden syrup and butter, stir until the butter is melted and then cool it to a lukewarm temperature.
  • Beat the eggs, milk, yoghurt, and pumpkin puree, then beat in the the psyllium husk.
  • In a large bowl add the millet flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, oat flour, sugar, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and combine everything well, leaving no loose flour.
  • Tip the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead it breifly before shaping it into a rectangle, and cut the dough into 8 equal sized pieces and place them 1 inch apart on a parchment lined pan. Alternatively shape the dough into a circle and cut it into triangles.
  • Bake the scones at 400 °F for 15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 350°F for a further 10 to 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean
  • Cool the scones while making the glaze, by whisking the ingredients in a small bowl. If the mixture is too runny, then add a little more icing sugar, or if it is too dry just add a little more milk or maple syrup. Drizzle the glaze on top of the scones and enjoy while warm.
  • Store any left over scones in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.
