Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 200 milliliters Whole milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
Cut the butter into small pieces and crumble it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then mix in the milk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until you form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly, just enough to bring it together. Shape it into a flat, circular disk about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick.
Preheat a large, non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. You can also use an oven if preferred (preheat to 200°C/400°F).
If using a skillet, place the dough gently onto the heated skillet and cook for about 8–10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully using a spatula.
If baking in the oven, transfer the dough disk to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Remove the Tuppakaka from the skillet or oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, cheese, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
