Fry Jacks

Puffed fried dough triangles eaten at breakfast.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 4 cups Frying oil

Method

1. Make the dough — Rub the butter into the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, then bind with milk.
2. Rest — Cover and rest 20 minutes.
3. Roll and cut — Roll thin and cut into triangles, slitting each one in the middle.
4. Fry hot — Fry in hot oil — they should puff up within seconds; if they do not, the oil is too cool.
5. Fry Jacks are ready — Drain and serve with beans, eggs or honey.
