Cheesy Wheat Potato Scones

I had a Potato Scone for the first time way back in 1999 in Nigeria! It was loaded with cheese, butter and plain flour. I thought why not try making a healthier version of the same? Trust me it was worth the try. 

Ingredients:

1 large boiled Potato

1 cup of wheat flour

A third cup of shredded low fat Cheddar or Cottage Cheese

2 tsp of baking powder

1 tbsp of low fat milk

2 tsp of Olive oil

1/2 a cup of finely chopped cilantro leaves (kothmeer)

Salt to taste

Method:

Take a bowl and grate the boiled potato. Add the shredded cheese, baking powder, milk, chopped cilantro, olive oil and salt and knead with light fingers. The dough should be soft. Set the dough aside for 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven at 200 deg C.

 Roll out the dough into a slightly thick disk and with the help of a cookie cutter, cut into medium sized roundels. Take a baking tray and line it with parchment paper.Place the roundels on the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes or till light brown.

Serve warm with a dip of your choice and enjoy with a hot cuppa!!
