Prep 1 hour
Cook Time 30 minutes
Chilling dough 4 hours
Total Time 5 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 potatoes - medium, peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup butter - vegan, cubed
  • ¼ cup Almond milk
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • cups plain flour - or use gluten free flour

Instructions

  • Cook potatoes in water until tender.
  • Drain and mash thoroughly into a mixing bowl. You can use a ricer or hand mixer.
  • Mix in the butter until melted through.
  • Cool thoroughly in the fridge for at least four hours.
  • Knead in the flour, milk, sugar and salt until you have a thick dough.
  • Now pinch off pieces of the dough, about the size of golf balls.
  • On a lightly floured surface, swiftly roll out each ball to 1/8” thick disk. Avoid handling dough as much as possible.
  • Flip briskly and carefully into a dry, hot frying pan or griddle.
  • Do not try to manipulate the disk once in the pan as that will create holes.
  • Cook for about 30 seconds each side.
  • Keep them wrapped in a damp towel whilst you finish the batch, and afterwards.
  • Serve with butter or powdered sugar and jam.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
