Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Cut butter into small pieces and rub through the flour. If you have hot hands, dip them in cold water before you do this, so the butter doesn't melt.

With a knife "cut" the egg and milk/water through the flour mix until and dough forms.

Turn onto a floured workbench and gently push dough together. You don't want to over work the dough or they will be tough.

Flatten out with you hand to about 2cm and either cut with a glass or biscuit cutter.

Heat fry pan and add enough oil to be about 1/2cm deep.

Over medium heat add the puffdaloons and fry on boths sides until nicely browned.

Best eaten with soup.
