Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  2. Add the egg and warm milk, then mix until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  3. Stir in the melted fat and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a thick pan over medium heat with a little fat.
  5. Pour in the dough to form a patty about 1 cm thick and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the underside is golden.
  6. Turn it over gently and cook for another 4 minutes, until the centre is cooked through.
  7. Serve hot, cut into wedges.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Add a spoonful of honey to the dough for a richer taste.
