Finally! Someone who cooks them the right way not in oil or butter but just on a hot surface, floured! So many people are frying them and its just not the right traditional method that i know! Well done on being one of the few on youtube that actually know how to make thse the correct way!
out of all the videos about Tattie scones this one proves to be the best - only thing don't use a knife to cut into quarters use a plastic 'scraper' type tool as is doesn't 'pull' the scones and don' t make them too thin . Excellent!!
Thank you very much. Yup the scraper is a good idea, I sometimes use a long cake palette knife, as its longer than the tattie scones. Although mostly I just reach for the wee pairing knife out of habit.
Never saw them in a toaster...my Mam used to flip them into the hot pan after she fried the streaky bacon. Lovely. Fried egg on top I'm the scone and awa' ye go. From Greenoch in Clydebank
If flip between traditional frying them and toasting. Gives a very different mouth feel, but both are equally enjoyable. Tends to be the one that I have frozen that hit the toaster more often than not.
Hi from a Lancashire lass. Loved your video. Our Mum used to make what she called potato cakes. Same ingredients and method but then she baked them on a floured tray in a hot oven. We had them sliced through the centre and butter on the middle .... heaven. Have tried making them myself a few times ... never as good as Mum's but improving. Mum also said the type of potatoes you get can affect the proportions you need ... some retain more water than others. Also the quality of the flour can affect the recipe. She also made Corned Beef Pinwheels ... make a batch of potato pastry; roll out an oblong maybe half an inch thick (1.27 cm). Chop corned beef after removing excess fat and mix to a paste consistency with something moist eg tomato sauce, some kind of gravy or sauce ... you decide ... you then spread the moistened corned-beef mixture all over the potato pastry. Now roll it up at the short side so it's like a Swiss roll. Then cut the "Swiss roll" into slices up to one inch thick. Place flat side down on floured tray. You can paint with egg or milk if you want (to help them brown). Hot oven. Sorry, can't remember how long for so you'll just have to keep an eye on them. These pinwheels are great served hot with a salad. Or in a buffet. Maybe others will have variations on this recipe.
Wow thank you for the detail on the pinwheels. Can't say I have come across them before. Yeah different potatoes can effect the outcome more than others, floury is better than waxy for potato choice. The biggest trick is not cooking them to far. If they get too soft, then its much harder to get the right result. The Irish also have a variant with again basically the same ingredients, but made quite a bit thicker, I think they call them potato cakes.
Thanks for the tip about not overboiling the spuds .. yes, I can see how that might affect the mix and it's happened to me ... then you're adding more flour in to thicken into a proper dough ... result is hard cakes. So I'm going to try and remember your words next time I make a consignment of potato cakes ... it's not often now that I get my hands in a baking bowl ... maybe once every Preston Guild 😹😹
I finally stopped being lazy tonight and tried this and they were beaut! I go through bouts of not wanting to cook much outside of oven stuff but I got a bout of inspiration and cooked a few dishes today including this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn't mess around with the plate and making sure they looked perfect just because I wasn't making a UA-cam video out of it haha so presentation wasn't as important to me but they were wayyy better than the store bought ones. Thanks again!
Lovely. Thanks for the recipe. Trying it out this afternoon. The best ones are home made, always. Making them in Ontario, Canada. Where there are a great many former Scots, like me, and millions with a wee bit of Scottish blood coursing through their veins. Yup. We are everywhere.
Cool. I hope you enjoyed them. Yup they certainly are. I believe if I remember correctly there are actually more Scots Gaelic speaker across Canada than there currently are in Scotland.
My grandpa who was from Scotland showed my dad who showed me how to make these, the difference l see is that, we make mashed potatoes, and then with the left overs add 1 egg, and flour and roll them out, l don't make them like your l just roll it all our and cut into squares and dry fry and cool and then freeze them. my sons now make them too the way my grandpa showed us. When cooking them up we used bacon fat, OMG, they are to die for. Now if l have them in my freezer and my boys come for a visit, they with just cook a pack or 2 up and munch away on them. Love recipes that are passed down to the generations.
Worked a treat, made a good batch for freezer, will see me good through this lockdown. Very easy to follow thanks. My mum does a version using smash powder saves the tattie peeling, but I couldn’t get the proportions correct always too sticky. Your instruction worked perfectly for me 👍🏻
Made these tottie scones today, they turned out great ! I was surprised because I'm hopeless in the kitchen. They definately are better than shop bought ones. Thanks
my grandpa who came from Edinburgh, l remember him that the thicker they were the richer one was, and the thinner the poorer you were,, needless to say l make mine about 3/4 cm. l do the same except we put an egg in ours. l usually will do 5kg, so we have enough for the winter,, and then we fry ours in bacon fat, let me say that l don't remember if that is the way my grandpa did them, but l know my dad did, and that is the way l do them and my son now makes them. He thrives for them when they come for a visit. For me they bring back good memories. We live in Canada and to even first to find them is hard, and 2 if you want to buy them there like $7 dollars for 4 of them. ridiculous. so l just make my own
Hey thanks for the feedback. That will be absolutely true with regards thickness. You can absolutely and many will use egg as binder and frying them in some form of fat is 100% the typical way for the final cook and yup they are divine that way. I whacked them in my toaster more to show that they can be cooked off that way too. I don't think though that I made it clear that frying them is the traditional way (and the way most people will still do it) to give them their final cook. I can't remember the price in the shops here, its been a while since I bought any shop made ones, but compared to making your own (which are far superior) its massively more economical to make them yourself. Thank you again, its wonderful to hear of family recipes that have been handed down through multiple generations.
Just made some, 😍✌️😋😋. Why did I wait so long in life to try making these?!?! I'm leaning towards them being at least 5mm thick but that's a preference thing. Simple, awesome 👏👏👏😍😍😍
hAnger Management - I was surprised how well they froze & how well toasting them came out. ... a far cry from the shallow-fried Sunblest tattie scones from the Co-op, when I was a young fellah. I got talking to a friend that grew up in East Germany, turns out the Germans do exactly the same thing but I can't remember what he called it. Is there a way to make white pudding without a mincer or ruining your blender? The world needs white pudding for the masses😍❗️
That is interesting to know, that there is a similar recipe in Germany. LOL, I'm not sure about White Pudding, its one I plan on looking into at some point though.
Love tattie scones can you spare some put them through screen.Dip scone in yolk of egg.shop bought are not nice but few weeks ago l got a packet and they were best really potato maybe McGee's?at least we know what's in homemade ones xx
Lol, I will try, but have a sneaky feeling that it won't work and my screen may get a wee bit messy. 😋 I agree on shop bought, they are OK, but not anywhere near as nice as you can make at home.
Thank you very much. They are Tsuki knives from a shop called Nisbet's. My knives are relatively cheap in terms of how much kitchen knives CAN cost, but I tried to get them with good steel (VG-10) and long lasting handles (micarta). I've literally just bought more of them, as the place I bought them from, have an offer for 3 knives (Chefs, Santoku and a Pairing for about £50. As I paid £79 for them 3 1/2 years ago I couldn't not take them up on that offer, and the set has generally sat at around £100 over that period. They sharpen up really well and hold the edge for a considerable time. Only the Chef's knife is in picture though, the other two are on my other magnetic rack.
@@hAngerManagement Thanks muchly,, I'll take a peek in my local store for them. Just bought a Wusthof utility knife but need a couple of others. I'd like a range of brands rather than a set from one manufacturer.
Hey hey Cupckae. How the hell are you? Damn, of all the places, never expected to hear from you through my Tattie Scone vid, LOL. Big squishy hugs pal. 🤗 Oh and thank you for liking the vid, even though I do say so myself, you'll love scones more when you make them.

LOL, yeah you used to be able to reply with a video response, but youtube disabled that feature quite a few years back. As for pics they don't let you do that, so it's not you.
You can just as easily fry them if you prefer. As I freeze all the batches I make, then the toaster is great way to re-heat and defrost them at the same time. If frying, then defrost them first, so you don't get too many oil sparks coming off the pan.
Thank you for your concern, but the knives are extremely secure and are in the safest place possible, as there is no chance of going into a drawer and accidentally slicing your hand open on razor sharp blades.
Potato scones very moreish. Being hard of hearing I relie on sub titles but, unfortunately, his lovely Scottish accent translates in places as gobbledegook
Sorry about that. Having hearing issues myself, I fully get it. I've no idea how to add my own subtitles info (or even if I can), but I'll look into it.

@@DavieGlasgow Not for the initial cook whilst making them. Just use a dry non-stick pan. When you come to cook them for eating then yeah use a little oil in frying pan or even slap them in the toaster or under the grill.

Seriously confused things with changing the ingredient amounts. Will not be able to do this and yet it looks great. He should have just reduced the potatoes!

In north east England Durham ares a gadget is a big round flattish beard also called a stottie
