Easy Indian Spiced Potato Scones Recipes

EASY INDIAN SPICED POTATO SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl mash the potatoes with the dairy-free spread (or butter), the spices, salt and pepper, the spring onion and the flour until smooth. Don't add it all at once. Add extra flour if you need to.
• Bring together the potato dough with clean hands. Once again add extra flour if it needs it. You are looking for a soft dough, but quite dry dough. If you feel it is too soft, you can chill in the fridge.
• Flour your worktop and roll out the potato dough with a floured rolling pin until it is quite thin, about ½ cm thick.
• Cut into triangles or use cookie cutters to cut out circles. Re-roll any leftover dough cut until you have used all the dough.
• Spray a grill pan or frying pan with a little oil, heat and then fry the potato scones in a couple of batches for a few minutes on either side until crisp and golden.

POTATO SCONES

Steps:

• Wash peel, and boil the potatoes-- about three medium ones.
• Mash them, and measure out two cups.
• If you are using leftover mashed potatoes, adjust the butter and salt downwards according to how much they already have in them.
• Stir in the salt and the butter, then beat in the egg.
• Stir in the flour and the baking powder; mix well. Add a little more flour if needed to make a soft but workable dough.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Roll out each section of the dough to about 1/4" thickness on a floured board.
• Bake them on a lightly greased griddle or skillet at the same temperature that you would cook pancakes, for about 5 minutes each side.
• They should feel dry but pliable, and have some light brown blisters.
• Keep them warm in a damp towel in the oven as they are cooked.
• Serve hot.
• If you are cooking them all at once, you probably want to use two skillets; leftovers can be reheated in the microwave.
• Otherwise, they can be kept raw in the fridge between sheets of waxed paper in a plastic bag.
