Sweet Pumpkin Scones

==Info==
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 12
==Ingredients==
* ¼ cup butter or margarine, softened slightly
* ¼ cup sugar
* 1 egg
* 2 Tbsp. corn syrup
* 1 cup cooked, mashed butternut squash, pumpkin, or other squash
* 2⅔ cups all-purpose flour
* 2 tsp. cream of tartar
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* pinch of salt
* ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
* pinch of ground ginger
* ⅓ cup milk (or less)
==Directions==
# Stir together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg and ground ginger.
# In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Add in the egg and corn syrup (mix the rest with a spoon so it won't be over-mixed).
# Stir in the squash and half of the sifted dry ingredients.
# Add the rest of the dry ingredients with just enough of the milk to make a soft dough. If it is too sticky to work, add a sprinkle (or two) of flour.
# Knead only a little, gently, until you can pat it out into a big flat rectangle about ¾" thick (just under an inch).
# Cut into 12 pieces with a floured knife. Transfer to a lightly greased oven tray.
# Bake at 230°C (450°F) for 18 minutes.
