Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    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.

Should be called Potato Cakes. Check any good Scottish recipe book for the real Potato Scones.

Love these scones. Also nice with spring onions added. Have not had a problem with the thickness - I cook them on one side, flip them and then flatten the cooked side with a spatula to the desired size and thickness. Be careful to cook them on a fairly low heat to make sure the batter cooks…
