Potato Biscuits

Serves 12 -14

Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/4 Cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 Tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 Tsp salt (depending on how salted the mash potatoes are)
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Directions

Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add this mixture to a mixing bowl containing the mashed potatoes. Stir together (mixture will be a bit crumbly).
Mix the beaten egg with the milk and then add this into the potato mixture. Mix to a soft dough. Turn on to a lfoured surface and knead 4 or 5 times. (To knead, sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and then lift the bottom half of the dough onto the top half, while pushing in with the heals of your hands).
Roll or pat out to a 3/4 inch thickness and cut into rounds using a 2 1/2 inch floured cutter. Mix the leftover pieces together and roll out again, until all the dough has been used up.
