When traveling there is a lot of fuss made about the Full English Breakfast it should be called a Full UK Breakfast. The traditional Scottish Breakfast (non WW) is usually served after porridge, without sugar. You have to have the following addition:
Tattie (Potato) Scones
Provides 4 substantial scones
250gms Floury Potatoes (Maris piper is the best)
25gms Butter
50gms Plain Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon of baking Powder
Bring the potatoes to the boil and cook until tender, drain in a colander and mash with the butter. Great if you have some left over from the previous night’s meal, just give them a couple of minutes in the microwave.
Mix the flour salt and baking powder and stir into the warm mash to make dough.
Shape into two balls and roll out to a 5mm thick. Heat a large heavy frying pan smear with oil and cook for approx 3-4 mins on both sides until golden brown
Lovely served with fried mushrooms and a couple of rashers of your favourite bacon, grilled tomatoes, fried eggs (sunny side up), placed on top of the scone - and if you are really hungry a couple of grilled bangers (sausages) and whatever ready prepared sauces you like. Hate to admit it but I like a blob of English Mustard.
Finish up with a cup of tea and a slice of buttered wholemeal toast with marmalade.
Remember ONLY on Sundays.
