Quick And Easy Potato Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 tablespoons butter, plus extra for greasing
3 tablespoons sugar or 1 teaspoon salt, for a more savory version
1 1/3 cups freshly boiled and mashed potatoes
3 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
Stir in the sugar and mashed potato.
Add enough milk to bind to a soft but not sticky dough.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until blended.
Roll out until 1/2-inch thick and cut into rectangles.
Place the rectangles on a buttered baking sheet and bake in a 425* oven for 12-15 minutes, until risen and golden.
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Serve on the day made.
Note: You can also make these rolls as triangles.
Instead of rectangles as here, cut 12 triangles from the dough.
