Potato Scone Recipes

Steps:

• Mash potatoes, add salt and butter and flour to give a stiff mixture.
• Turn out onto floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a thickness of 1cm (1/2inch).
• Cut into triangles and cook on a hot greased griddle for 4-5 min on each side.
• Serve hot

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine potatoes, milk and egg; stir into the crumb mixture until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 10-12 minutes or until no longer sticky. Gently pat or roll dough into a 9-in. circle about 3/4 in. thick. Cut into 10-12 wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat a lightly greased griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mash potatoes with flour, butter, and salt until a stiff dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough lightly and roll dough out to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into six triangular wedges.
• Working in batches, cook scones, turning once on hot griddle until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
• Put the mashed potatoes in a larger bowl.
• Knead together enough flour and milk INTO the potatoes to make a stiff dough. The amount of flour will depend on the variety of potato used.
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a very thin sheet.
• Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter; prick each round with a fork.
• Bake on a hot greased griddle 2 or 3 minutes.
• Turn and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Serve hot with a pat of butter.

Steps:

• Mash potatoes well, add real butter and salt.
• Add as much flour as potatoes will take without becoming too dry.
• Turn out onto a floured board, roll until ¼ inch in thickness.
• Cut into circles, approximately 2½" in diameter.
• Prick all over with a fork.
• Cook on a hot dry griddle or heavy pan dusted with a little flour.
• When they brown with small darker spots appearing, they are cooked.
• Serve hot off the griddle with maple syrup, golden syrup, honey or butter.
• Wrap uneaten scones in greaseproof paper and refrigerate.
• Reheat cold scones by frying them in bacon fat until crisp, and serve with bacon and eggs - delicious!
• *Flour amount varies according to the type of potato used.
• For Vegetarian omit the bacon fat. Do not refry in Bacon fat to reheat for Vegetarian. And you might want to serve it with Vegetarian bacon not real bacon.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
• Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven. Serve with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

Steps:

• Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of lightly salted water. Reduce heat, and simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.
• While still warm, push potatoes through the large holes of a ricer, or use a potato masher to mash them until smooth (you should have 2 1/2 cups). Stir butter into warm potatoes until combined well. Stir together flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then stir into potatoes with a wooden spoon until just combined. Form dough into a ball on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with a dish towel, and let cool for 20 minutes.
• Dust rolling pin and work surface with flour, and roll out dough to an 8-by-10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half with cheese, and fold to create a 4-by-10-inch rectangle. Gently roll out. With a floured knife, cut dough into four 2 1/2-by-4-inch rectangles, then cut each in half diagonally.
• Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon butter. When it has completely melted and is sizzling, cook 4 scones until golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Keep scones warm in a 200 degree oven while you cook the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain into a bowl and mash until smooth.
• Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork until mixture is crumbly. Stir in sugar, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Add 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes; mix until dough comes together.
• Turn dough out onto a floured work surface; divide in half. Pat each half into a circle the size of a large dinner plate. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges to two 10x15-inch baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
