Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 15

Total Time: 30

Servings: scones

Ingredients

500 g (3 cups) starchy potatoes diced
2 tbsp vegan butter
125 g (1 cup) plain flour
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Peel and dice the potatoes. We often leave the peel on if we are using organic or homegrown potatoes.
In a saucepan, boil the potatoes for approximately 10-15 minutes until tender.
Drain the potatoes and then mash them with the vegan butter.
Next, mix in the flour and salt until you have a smooth dough.
Form three balls with the dough.
Dust a wooden board and rolling pin with flour, and then roll each ball of dough into circles about 18cm / 7 inches wide.
Cut each circle into quarters.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy based pan, and then cook the scones for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Best served warm, store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a pan or toaster, or freeze.
