Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
• 0.5 cup butter, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; mix well.

Step 2

Beat milk, eggs, and 1/2 cup melted butter together in another bowl; stir into flour mixture, with just a few strokes. Handle dough as little as possible.

Step 3

Scrape dough onto a generously floured surface; dip your fingers in flour. Pat dough into a circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch rounds to form 18 scrumpets.

Step 4

Melt enough remaining butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet until very lightly greased. Fill skillet with scrumpets, cooking in batches, and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook 5 minutes; flip reduce heat again, and cook 5 minutes more. Cook remaining scrumpets, in batches, in lightly buttered skillet. Serve warm.
