      All gone butternut
      Peel squash and cut in half. Remove seeds (set aside) and chunk squash. Steam squash until tender then mash. (Approx 2 cups) Add 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 table spoons butter, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, optional walnuts or pecans to liking and salt and pepper to taste. Place mixture in individual custard cups or small casserole dish. Place in oven to heat thoroughly. Enjoy.
      Rinse seeds and spread over parchment covered cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake in moderate over until golden brown. Eat as is or toss a few into salad or home made trail mix.
      Toss peels into compost bin.

      Do you have a really excellent recipe for butternut with buttermilk rusks. With some healthy seeds in as well. Have found one recipe which is made with yeast. Would rather use self raising flour?????

        Hi Leatitia,

        I'm sorry but I have not come across any buttermilk rusk recipes. It does sound like a good idea though.
