Potato scones are a doddle. 3-2-1 potato, flour, butter or marg. I usually do 150g of spud, but there was 225g leftover from last night and really, what am I going to do with 3oz of mash? To hell with it, it’s Friday, I used it all. So – rub flour and marg/butter together to…

scones in the Remoska
Sorry about this, but while I’m experimenting with the new Remoska, there’s going to be a few posts about it 🙂 I ordered the shallow pan for it from Lakeland, along with the recipe book, so I plan to get plenty of use from it (they arrived this morning). We went to Bridlington today –…

So we had drop scones. 8oz self raising flour 1/2 generous teaspoon of cream of tartar ditto of bicarbonate of soda…
