Julia Dunlinson's Potato Griddle Scones image

These British scones, created by the mother of Martha Stewart Living design director James Dunlinson, resemble small, thick pancakes.

Yield makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1 teaspoon salt
Butter and jam, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a small saucepan; cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain; transfer to a medium bowl. Using a potato ricer or a food mill, mash the potatoes (you should have 5 cups mashed). Add the melted butter, flour, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Transfer to a clean work surface; knead until smooth, being careful not to overwork the dough.
  • Heat a griddle over medium heat. Roll out the dough to 3/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out rounds, and prick with a fork. Lightly butter the griddle; cook the scones in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, keeping the scones covered while cooking the remaining scones. Serve warm with butter and jam, if desired.
