Puffdaloons Recipes

Steps:

• Start by frying the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Set bacon aside and keep warm until you're ready to serve the Puftaloons. Drain all but about 2 to 4 Tbsp of the bacon grease from the pan.
• While bacon is frying, stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium size bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until fine crumbs form. Add the milk and stir with a fork until a slightly sticky dough forms.
• Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until dough is smooth. Roll dough to about 1/8" or 1/4" thickness. Use a 3" or 3.5" biscuit cutter to cut 12 round circles from the dough. Re-roll dough scraps as necessary.
• Returning to the skillet, heat the bacon grease over medium heat. Place about 4 of the dough circles into the hot grease and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn and cook other side. Repeat until all of the Puftaloons have been cooked, adding butter to the pan if needed to prevent sticking.
• Divide the bacon and Puftaloons among 4 individual plates. Top to Puftaloons with a little maple syrup or jam, and serve immediately while still hot.

Steps:

• Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and rub through the flour. If you have hot hands, dip them in cold water before you do this, so the butter doesn't melt.
• With a knife "cut" the egg and milk/water through the flour mix until and dough forms.
• Turn onto a floured workbench and gently push dough together. You don't want to over work the dough or they will be tough.
• Flatten out with you hand to about 2cm and either cut with a glass or biscuit cutter.
• Heat fry pan and add enough oil to be about 1/2cm deep.
• Over medium heat add the puffdaloons and fry on boths sides until nicely browned.
• Best eaten with soup.
