We always post our dinner adventures, but this morning - I actually tried something post worthy for breakfast.
Weekend breakfasts are always the best - I like to linger at the breakfast table with a good cup of coffee.
Scones:
1 3/4 cup of flour
3 tbsp of wheat flour ( I didn't have any on hand so I just used more white flour)
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- Sift together the dry ingredients and then cut in 1/4 stick of butter with a pastry blender
- In another small little bowl - stir in 5 tbsp milk with 1/4 cold mashed potatoes & pepper (I just make a super small batch of instant mashed potatoes and put them in the freezer to cool off rapidly)
- Add the potatoes to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until all mixed in
- At this stage - I had to add WAY more milk than what the recipe called for - my dough was super dry. I probably ended up adding another 1/4 cup of milk to get a good sticky dough
- Kneed out the dough until smooth and place on a cookie sheet and shape into a round ball.
- Score the dough with a knife into "scone-like" shapes.
- Brush top with a bit of milk and top with finely grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 425 for 15 minutes.
