Tattie Scones

It's Sunday and I have nowhere to be, so Rory and I decided on a fry up for breakfast. Going back to his Scottish roots he insisted on Tattie scones, which didn't seem to be a difficult task on my list, just the kind of thing I've never bothered to make before. So here is my Scottish Sunday...

I love a dish with just 3 ingredients!

Carving it up!

Into the frying pan!

Rory's idea of a true Sunday morning breakfast

Tattie Scones

Makes: 6-12 serves

Prep Time: 15mins (included making the mash) Cook time: 5mins

1 cup mashed potato (I usually add a little butter and milk to my mash but I didn't for these as I didn't want the mix to be too soft so ultimately this should say 1 cup of squashed boiled potatoes)

1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)

1/2 cup plain flour

1. Preheat a dry frying pan over moderate heat

2. Mix together all the ingredients until blended

3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide into 2 (I put the second half of the mix into the freezer at this point for use at a later date)

4. Roll each part into a circle and flatten to about 3/4cm thick and cut into quarters

5. Place the quarters into the frying pan and brown on both sides (approximately 5 mins)

6. Serve with bacon, eggs and sausages (yes, I know they should have been square sausages but with a distinct lack of proper sausage mince, shop bought ones had to suffice) Oh and don't forget the HP sauce!

I intentionally made mine a bit thicker because I like the lighter fluffier texture than when they're a bit thinner. These definitely got the tick of approval from Rory and he's happy too because he knows how easy they were to do. I really should have saved this dish for next weekend when it's his birthday and I've promised him something good!
