Best potato scones

Boil the potatoes, then mash them while still hot.

Add the flour, fat, salt and eggs. A typical mistake is to use too much flour, which makes the dough tough. To start with, use only enough flour to just hold the dough together.

Cook the yeast in a little lukewarm water and add to the dough.

Mix the ingredients well, then cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough, cut it into shapes with a pastry cutter and place it on a greased baking tray.

Before baking, brush the scones with egg to give them a nice colour. However, when doing this, you should be careful not to spill the egg on the scones, as it can easily stick to the bottom.

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 20-25 minutes.
