Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain into a bowl and mash until smooth.
- Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork until mixture is crumbly. Stir in sugar, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Add 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes; mix until dough comes together.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; divide in half. Pat each half into a circle the size of a large dinner plate. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to two 10x15-inch baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Sorry but turned out too moist, almost soggy in middle. Added bake time but I still don’t want to bring to my office.

This recipe was delicious. The sweet potatoes made it more moist than usual scones, but it was richer and more decadent because of it. I'd definitely make them again.
