Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams potatoes
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons milk
- extra flour for dusting
- butter or oil for greasing
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the butter until fully incorporated.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, flour, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to bring the dough together if needed. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thickness.
Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or into triangles with a sharp knife.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the scones in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
