Steps:
For all types of scones Blend the flour with the baking powder, salt and cold butter from the refrigerator in a cutter (food processor equipped with blades) until you get a sandy mixture. Then add the brown sugar, the eggs (you can beat 2 of 50g together and divide them into 3 in order to use them for the dough of all the scones) and the appropriate vegetable puree Knead well until you get a homogeneous mixture that you will wrap in cling film and put to rest for at least half an hour in the refrigerator. Do the same for all 3 doughs Once the dough is rested, roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 2.5 / 3 cm and then cut it with a 6 cm diameter pasta bowl.
For the cooking
Bake the scones in the preheated oven at 175 degrees for about 17-18 minutes Once cooked, take them out of the oven and let them cool, then they will be ready to be cut in half and stuffed.
The fillings
Cut all the scones in half horizontally as if you were cutting a sandwich
The creams
Gorgonzola: mix the gorgonzola with the cream until you get a cream Taleggio: heat the cream until it just comes to a boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the diced Taleggio without the crust. Mix until you get a smooth, lump-free cream. Let the fondue cool before using it Ricotta: chop the basil very finely and add it to the ricotta, mixing and obtaining a cream. Season it with a little salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
