| Potato Scones |
| ingredients: |
Half
pound (225g) boiled and mashed
potatoes
2.5oz (65g) flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
Half teaspoon salt |
|
|
| method: |
| Mash the potatoes while they are
still warm and add the butter
and salt. Add in enough flour
to make it a pliable dough but
without making it too dry. The
type of potato will affect this.
Turn out onto a floured surface
and roll until about quarter of
an inch thick. Cut into six inch
circles and then into quarters.
Prick all over with a fork and
cook in a heavy pan which has
been lightly greased. Cook each
side for about three minutes or
until golden brown. If you want
to really add the calories, put
cheese between two scones and
cook until the cheese has melted.
