Potato scones

[meebs]

hello!

does anybody know how to make them? when i visited Scotland with uni, we had them for one breakfast. i had it with bacon and tomato but i could also imagine eating them with honey or something. ive been craving them from then on!

i need to make the recipe for two (well, or even for myself) mainly sometimes for four.

thanks for any help

(also do you think i can get away with making them during camping?)

You could always just buy them Much easier.

I'm the black sheep of the tatie scone fraternity. I prefer them just out the pack as opposed to fried. But here's the link to the recipe anyway, there are other variations on google.

that sounds like a nice savory one. how about sweet?

yeah i like to do my own cooking same with pancakes. mine are always better then precooked (to me anyway )

never made em, just buy em in tescos
*drool* i love potato scones!
my grannie's neighbours use to make em, and always invited us in to have some when we stayed with her.

Mmmmm tattie scones! I'm another of those who like them straight from the pack, but I can see how they'd go well with a fried breakfast (drools). If you go along to the supermarkets around the early evening you can often pick them up, reduced to 9p or some other ridiculously cheap price.

mmm

Roll and egg and scone. mmmm

Of course our friends from Ulster will try to tell you that tattie scones are in fact potato bread, but don't listen, they just learned how to make them from the Ulster scots anyway, so what do they know!

Don't tell my wife!

 

[meebs]

heehee - well im not sure my local tescos do 'em, theyre always lacking the stuff that is sold everywhere else will look out for them though i still love to make stuff myself im sure i could cheat a little!

*goes to find scottishjohns wife to tell her *

Could I bribe you with a recipe?

Your silence for an eternity of home made potato scones?

I have to firstly point out, on behalf of all the Irish out there, that they are in fact called potato bread...

Make sure and let us know how they get on with honey & things. I've only ever had them fried (nothing like a good old Ulster fry!), and to be honest the thought of them any other way just seems wrong, but I could be tempted to try it

Is there actually a difference between the tattie scone and potato bread?

They're exactly the same thing, made the same way, just a difference in opinion over the name.

I think they are called scones because they are cooked on a skillet over heat as opposed to in an oven, which his how ordinary scones used to be made before everyone had ovens.

See from your profile you go to Bangor Elim. We drive past it every time we go to see my father in law at his work - he has a kitchen and appliance showroom just off the Balloo Rd. (He says Potato bread too! )

 

[eringilmour]

It looks scary (as it bigish for NI) but its not at all, the pastors are absolutley brilliant.

I know where that showroom is!!!

I maybe will give it a look sometime, although we are not over as often as we should be!

Looks great, I was having a nose on the website earlier on.

Showroom is called B&D Kitchens / Appliance 2000, I worked there for a summer just before we got married.


tattie scone!
