Potato Scones

Ingredients

• 6 medium Potatoes
• 1/2 pint Graham flour
• 1/2 teaspoonful Salt
• 1/4 teaspoonful Baking powder
• 1 tablespoonful Butter
• 1 cupful Cream
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 teaspoonful Ground cloves (Originally Royal Extract Cloves. Substituted with ground cloves.)

Instructions

1. 1Peel and boil the potatoes until very well done. Drain off the water and let them dry, uncovered, near the heat. This will take about 10 minutes.
2. 2Mash the potatoes exceedingly smooth. Add the butter, egg, and cream. Sift together the Graham flour, salt, and baking powder, and add to the potato mixture. Mix well.
3. 3Once the mixture is quite cold, add the ground cloves. Mix into a firm dough. Flour a board with Graham flour, turn out the dough, and roll it to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut with a sharp knife into oblong pieces, about the length of soda crackers and 2/3 as wide.
4. 4Bake on a hot griddle, pricking them with a fork to prevent blistering. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter.
