IRISH SCONES
Three cups of mashed potatoes,
Three cups of sifted flour,
Two teaspoons of salt,
Two level teaspoons of baking powder,
Three level teaspoons of shortening.
Now place in a bowl
One-half cup of milk,
One egg.
Beat. Use about two-thirds of the egg and milk mixture to form a dough. Knead the dough to a smooth mixture and then divide into four parts. Pat or roll out like a saucer and then make two cuts to form the cross, cutting into four pieces. Brush with part of egg and milk mixture and then place on a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven for eighteen minutes.
