These wee “tattie” scone canapés from Castle MacLellan are IDEAL for any Christmas party. Traditionally tattie scones are made with leftover potatoes – another idea for boxing day perhaps?
Makes approximately 30 small canapés
Ingredients
- 125g potatoes cut into cubes
- 100g plain flour
- half teaspoon baking powder
- 25g melted butter
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoon of oil, for frying
- Castle MacLellan pâté of choice
Method
- 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 and egg
- Mash well and add plenty of seasoning and mix to a soft sticky dough
- Heat some oil in a large heavy flat based frying pan
- Fry small teaspoons of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until golden brown. Leave until cold.
- Fill a piping bag with a large star nozzle, and soften the pâté of your choice with a fork and place in the piping bag. Pipe pâté onto the scones – any Castle MacLellan pâté works well!
