Irish Mashed Potato Scones



  • Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 and 1/3 cups leftover boiled and mashed potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet.

Sift together the flours and baking powder and cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Cut in the sugar and mashed potatoes, then add enough milk to make a soft, but not sticky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and cut into squares.

Put on a baking sheet and bake for 12 – 15 minutes or until done.  Allow to cool.

Make 6 to 8 scones.
