Ingredients
- 300 g (2 cups) self-raising flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 250 ml (1 cup) milk
- 60 g butter, for frying
- 300 ml thickened cream
- strawberry jam, to serve
Instructions
- Combine the flour, salt and milk in a bowl and mix until it just barely comes together. Do not over-mix the dough. It should still be lumpy and inconsistent. Turn out the dough onto a lightly dusted chopping board and shape into a rectangle about 1½ cm thick. Using an 8-cm cutter, stamp out rounds. Gently gather the scraps together and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Heat one third of the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over low heat. Fry the puftaloons in batches 3-4 at a time for about 3 minutes each side until browned. Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then serve with the puftaloons and jam.
