Ingredients

  • 1 kilo floury potatoes such as Maris Piper
  • 250 g butter
  • 2 tsp Maldon or kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 250 g plain flour

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes, when cooked, pass through a ricer
  • Mix in the salted butter, salt, baking soda and flour
  • Knead the mixture together then roll out onto a floured board, about 1 centimeter thick
  • Cut out little rounds with an egg cup
  • Rub a little butter on the warm pan and cook on a cast iron/ thick bottomed frying pan on a low heat
  • Cook the scones until the texture stiffens, puffs a little and it colours each side to a light golden brown.
