Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 egg yolk
1 pinch granulated sugar
2/3 c whole wheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/3 c butter
3/4 c mashed potatoes
1/4 c white sugar
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
3/4 c milk
1 2/3 c all purpose flour
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 whole egg
1/3 c raisins or candied mixed fruit

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine flours, salt, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Cut in butter until mixture is the consistency of cornmeal. Stir in raisins or fruit.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine potato, whole egg, yolk, and milk. Whisk until no lumps remain. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add liquid all at once. Stir with a fork to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. If necessary add 1-2 Tbsp. more milk.
  • 3. Press lightly into a ball and knead gently on a floured surface about six times. Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut into triangles. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until golden. Serve with butter or jam.
