Spelt tattie scones


Oh what a week this has been! It was so busy and tiring, but now it's finally weekend and time to relax and enjoy good food. I think that today I want to eat out, but haven't decided on the restaurant/café/pub yet. What are your plans for the weekend?

I have already once posted a recipe for this Scottish breakfast classic, tattie scones that can easily be made from left-over potato mash. Tattie scones are such a nice breakfast, even if you'll have to boil the potatoes extra for them like I did (I never have left-over mash, as I always eat all of it). This time I made the tattie scones with spelt flour, so they became a bit nuttier and more wholesome. I also left the potato skins in the mash. 


Ingredients

500 g floury potatoes
50 g butter
125 g spelt flour
Sprinkle of salt

Method

Boil the potatoes with the peels on and then mash them.

Mix the potato mash with the flour, butter and salt once it has cooled a little.

Shape round scones of the mixture.

Fry the scones in butter on each side until golden brown.

Serve warm, and add some extra butter on the top.


Enjoy!

    1. Thank you Laura! I really love this recipe for an occasional breakfast. Of course it's quite heavy, but sometimes that's the right thing to do. Have a good weekend!

  2. Yes it has been a busy week, I have just been lazing. I love traditional tatties, indulged in them a lot when I lived in Scotland. I like your addition of spelt flour to make them nutty. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  3. I love making tattie scones - sometimes I even make a little extra mashed potato just so I can make them - have found that a bit of cooked quinoa works really well in them - nice to hear spelt works well too. Is that a butter knife in the photo or a wooden spoon - it looks very rustic!

    1. Quinoa sounds like an interesting addition to them, I should also try it one time. Spelt works really well here. That is indeed a wooden spoon from Finland.

  4. Not something I am familiar with here in Australia. But looks delicious! I will definitely be trying this :)

    1. Great to hear that, I'm sure you'll love them. I only got familiar with them a few years ago, but since then have tended to make them occasionally.
