Sweet Potatoe and Courgette Scones

Scones are my comfort food, they'te totally delicious and remind me of home and the wonderful steaming scones of my childhood spread with my grandmothers homemade raspberry jam- mmm yum! While i'm breastfeeding i find that i am constantly ravenous and in a bid to eat something healthy rather stuffing myself with more chocolate i have adapted the 'Savoury herb Scones' from Barbara Cousins book "Vegetarian Cooking Without" ( a book i found invaluable when first starting to make gluten and dairy free food) by among other things, adding grated courgette and sweet potatoe, to delicious effect.
