Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 cups starchy potatoes diced
  • 8 oz all-purpose flour
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp vegan butter

Instructions
 

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 vegan butter.
  • Next, mix in the salt and flour 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.

Notes

  • When using organic or homegrown potatoes, we often leave the peel on.
  • If vegan butter isn't available, refined coconut oil will suffice.
