Potato Pete’s Potato Scones

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Prepare the scones: Grease a large baking sheet. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Step 2

   Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the mashed potatoes and mix well. Rub in the margarine or butter with your fingers, then add 3 tablespoons of the milk and gently work to form a soft dough, adding 1 or 2 more tablespoons of milk, if needed.

3. Step 3

   On a floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough until it’s about ⅓-inch thick. Cut into 12 circles using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Brush the tops with just enough additional milk to glaze.

4. Step 4

   Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, setting them about 1½ inches apart, and bake until golden on top, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

5. Step 5

   Make your desired filling: For the sweet filling, in a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, margarine, sugar and milk thoroughly. For the savory filling, loosely combine the cabbage, carrots and chutney.

6. Step 6

   Make the sandwiches: Once the scones have cooled, divide your desired filling among half the scones and top with the remaining scones to form sandwiches.
