Potato Scones

These scones were eaten at teatime, just off the griddle, with plenty of butter.  Of course, they can be served at any meal.

2 cups cooked warm potatoes
2 T. hot milk
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter and beat well.  Add the flour and salt to form a stiff paste.  Use one half to begin with and roll out very thin onto a floured board.  Cut in six pie-shaped wedges.  Repeat with the balance of the dough.

Bake on a preheated lightly buttered griddle, over medium heat, for 3 or 4 minutes on each side.

Yield: 12 scones
