Now, far be it from me to commandeer the food culture of another country but I hereby claim potato farls, or tattie scones, for the Queen of England and they will now be officially forever known as potato cakes. I'm doing this of course due to my massive sense of entitlement as an Englishman as I hold on to the idea that we are still somehow, some kind of major world power.

This is not delusional thinking in any way. But you would have to be deluded to believe that this simple griddle scone isn't an absolutely cracking recipe. So simple and yet so satisfying. So don't worry about its origins. Just make it and then eat it with no sense or admission of guilt.

Enjoy!
