Creating Sweet Potato Scones is simpler than you might think! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Sweet Potato: Boil or bake the sweet potato until it’s soft. Once cooled, mash it and set it aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
6. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; be careful not to overmix.
7. Shape Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it forms a cohesive dough. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
8. Cut Scones: Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into wedges. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through.
10. Cool: Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving.
