4cupsall-purpose flour,sifted
2tbspwhite sugar
4tspbaking powder
1tspsalt
1cupmilk
3eggs
½cupbutter,melted
1tspbutter,or as needed
Preparation
Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix well.
Beat milk, eggs, and melted butter together in another bowl; stir into the flour mixture with a few strokes. Handle the dough as little as possible.
Scrape the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Dip your fingers in flour and pat dough into a circle about ½-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds to form the scrumpets.
Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The frying pan should be greased very lightly, preferably with butter.
Fill the pan with some scrumpets and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes.
Turn, lower the heat, and cook for 5 minutes more. Cook remaining scrumpets and serve warm.
