1/2 c Sugar
1 Egg
2 c Flour, self-raising

NOTES:
* Pumpkin scones -- Scones (pronounced with a short `o', rhymes with
`Fonz') are a popular accompaniment to afternoon tea. They are often served
with jam and whipped cream. In this variation the scones are flavoured with
pumpkin. It is not a typical scone recipe.
Pumpkin scones can be eaten in place of bread with a meal. This recipe was
made famous by the wife of the Premier of Queensland. Yield: Serves 4-6.
* To an Australian, a pumpkin is a large round, squat, green or blue-green
vegetable that is orange on the inside. There are many varieties, all of
species Cucurbita maxima. In North America a good substitute is acorn
squash (Cucurbita pepo); elsewhere a butternut squash (Caryoka nuciferum)
would be a fair substitute.
