Scones, Potato-Bacon
Recipe Link: http://recipecenter.com
1 cup cooked Mashed Potatoes (Use potatoes only, no butter or milk)
1 large Egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
5 strips Bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoon Bacon Drippings
In a large bowl, blend together the mashed potatoes, egg, salt, pepper, flour, and crumbled bacon. Stir gently until the dough holds together.
Warm the bacon drippings in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Drop about 1/4 cup of the dough into the hot skillet and fry the scones for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with eggs the way you like them!

Turn out onto floured surface. Roll out with a floured rolling pin to make a round 1/2-inch-thick dough. Cut into rounds with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Place 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter.
