 *- Potato Scones*

*Like many traditional Scottish recipes this uses basic ingredients which were always ready to hand.*

## 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.
