3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of cream of tartar
2 1/2 tbsp. bacon fat or butter
1/2 c. cooled mashed potatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
2 to 3 tbsp. milk

Sift together the first 4 ingredients. Rub the fat or butter into the flour. Add mashed potatoes and salt. Mix and add enough of the milk to make a soft dough. Pat the dough about 1/2 inch thick on a floured board. Cut into rounds about 3 inches across. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until golden. Split and serve hot with butter. Makes 4 scones.
