Grandmas Scottish Potato Scones
On all of her visits, Grandma would take leftover potatoes from the day before and make us potato scones to have hot, slathered with butter, as a bedtime snack. Our tasters thought these scones were good enough to warrant purposely cooking extra potatoes.
Directions
Mash cold potatoes well on well-floured surface. Knead in as much flour as potatoes will absorb. Add salt to taste. Roll out to -inch thickness and cut into large circles. Quarter circles and cook on slow griddle, turning when lightly flecked with brown.
Eat hot with butter or honey.
