Potato Scones

Potato Scones
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cup flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, well beaten
1/4 cup shortening
4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup mashed potatoes
milk

Directions:
Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder and salt. Add mashed potatoes and shortening which have been creamed together. Add well-beaten egg and sufficient milk to make a roll dough. Very little milk is necessary.

Turn onto lightly floured board. Pat into sheet 1/2 inch think, OR divide dough into 3 parts, roll into rounds 1/2 inch thick, cut each of these into 4 pie-shaped sections, and bake in hot oven (450 degrees F). Serve hot.

These sound good, thanks for sharing the recipe. I like potato bread/rolls so these are probably close to the taste without the work of a yeast bread.
