Method

Place potato on baking tray, pierce with a fork and bake at 190C, 375F, gas 5 for 45 minutes or until tender. Cool to room temperature.
Peel and mash potato.
Place flour and sugar into a bowl and rub in the light buttery spread.
Stir in chives, potato and enough semi-skimmed milk drink to mix to a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
Roll lightly to 2cm thick and cut into 5cm (2 inch) rounds. Place on greased baking tray and brush tops with a little semi-skimmed milk drink.
Bake in hot oven at 210C, 425F, gas 7 for 15 minutes or until cooked.
