Pufftaloons

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder, then stir together until evenly blended.

Gradually pour in approximately 3/4 cup of milk, stirring constantly until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add a little more milk if needed to achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Heat a heavy skillet or frying pan over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil, lard, or butter.

Drop heaped spoonfuls of batter into the hot pan, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading and puffing.

Cook the pufftaloons for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are golden brown.

Flip each pufftaloon carefully with a spatula and cook for a further 2 minutes until the second side is golden and the bread is cooked through.

Remove from the pan and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by butter, jam, honey, or golden syrup as desired.
