Topped with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, these make a hearty brunch for friends
Ingredients
- 250g potatoes , cut into cubes
- 200g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 50g butter , melted, plus extra for frying
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 eggs , beaten
- 2 tsp oil , for frying
Method
- STEP 1
Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
- STEP 2
Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven. Serve with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.
