Potato Scones


2 cups plain mashed potatoes
3 Tbls. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Up to 2/3 cup whole wheat flour or corn meal

Make sure the potatoes are throughly mashed, not lumpy. Stir the butter, salt, & pepper into the potatoes.  Add the flour/corn meal a little bit at a time, mixing it in before adding more, until the dough holds together & is not very sticky. Put it on a floured surface, sprinkle more flour on top, and roll it out to 1/4"-1/2" thick. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter. Cook in a dry frying pan--flour on the outside of the scones with make it not stick--until browned, flipping to cook both sides.

Serve them hot, put on butter or other condiments as desired. Can be fried to reheat.
