Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough—it should be soft but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a small bowl to cut the dough into circles about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the prettles in the pan, leaving space between each one.
Cook the prettles for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the prettles from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, honey, jam, or cheese. Enjoy!
