My Favorite Recipe

Ingredients:
500g potatoes (any potato even left overs)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
50g butter (if you use salted butter just add a pinch of salt not 1 tea spoon)
300g plain white flour
15g bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
40ml buttermilk

Directions:
 1. Boil and mash the potatoes with butter
2. Sieve in 1/2 the flour with bicarbonate of soda When it starts to form balls add the buttermilk and rest of flour salt and pepper
3. Mix until a dough then turn it out of the bowl and knead it a few times whilst making it into a circle
4. Roll it out about 1/2 cm thick Cut into 1/4 and dry fry on a heavy bottom fry pan or a griddle if you have one A few minutes each side to colour is all it needs
5. Set aside in the fridge and when you want to eat them fry them in a little oil or butter a few minutes each side

   Cheese and onion or chopped bacon or herbs can be added to this recipe but I like it plain and fried in oil served with soft poached eggs, sausages & mushrooms & baked beans bacon and black pudding

 If you do not have buttermilk just add a little more butter so the dough doesn't be too dry and crumbling
