It's my day off and I just fancied doing a little breakfast baking so I made some of these in about five minutes flat ... well, ok about five minutes mixing and then a half an hour actually cooking them - but it felt a quick and eminently do-able process for Sunday brunch. Esmé and I enjoyed with with peanut butter, jam, honey, cheese and The Archers Omnibus! (tbh Esmé wasn't that bothered about The Archers she was busy on her phone...doh!)
- 8oz Plain White flour
- 1tsp bicarb
- 2 tsp cream of Tartar
- 1tsp salt
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 1 lg knob of butter* (approx 40g)
- ¼ pt milk*
You could of course easily use margarine and soya milk or something made from nuts if you felt a bit vegan-y
- preheat a greased griddle or heavy bottomed frying pan on a medium heat
- sift flour bicarb, cream of tartar and salt together
- rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs
- stir in the sugar
- mix in the milk to form a soft but not sticky dough
- roll out to ½ cm thick
- cut out with a round cutter or cut into triangles
- cook in batches:
- place rounds onto the griddle of frying pan and cook for about 5 minutes
- turn over and cook for another few minutes until golden and cooked through.
