Remarks
You will see in the photo for stage 2 that I have used a green variety of potimarron, but the more usual orange sort will work just as well. You can also use ordinary pumpkin, though this needs to be peeled.

The proportions stated here (1 potimarron, 1 celeriac, 1 onion) are only for guidance, so do feel free to adapt them.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge in a sealed container. Freezes very well.

Scones originated in Britain and Ireland. The Irish version is often made plain and traditionally served with tea.
