Easy
Ingredients
One 6 ounce yam 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated 1/2 teaspoon gf vanilla 1-1/2 cups gf flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cardamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prick yam with a fork and bake 45 minutes or until very soft. Alternatively, place yam in microwave for a few minutes at a time, rotating periodically, until cooked through. When cool, peel and mash yam until smooth. Set aside 3/4 cup.
Lightly butter a large baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine yam, sugar, oil, egg, buttermilk, orange zest, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine gf flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cardamon and salt. Stir dry ingredients into yam mixture just until combined.
Drop batter into 1/4 cup mounds on baking sheet, about 2" apart. Brush tops of scones with maple syrup. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Serve warm.
