Honey Griddle Cakes

01Method

1. 1

   Tip the flour into a bowl along with the baking powder and spice. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. In a cup, beat the egg with the milk, then gradually pour the liquid into the flour mixture — start stirring with a spoon, then bring it together with your hands to form a soft, non-sticky dough.

2. 2

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Divide into three equal portions and roll each one out to a round about the thickness of a thick coin. Cut each round into quarters and cook in batches in a dry, preheated skillet until the cakes are golden and crisp.

3. 3

   Transfer the finished griddle cakes to a plate and serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey.
