Puftaloons Australian Fried Scones
I made these on a whim for my breakfast and was really glad I tried them! I cut the recipe in half and made my own self-rising flour. They really did puff up so I guess my baking powder is still good. :-P Half of the recipe made the two you see with a little bit of scrap leftover. These are textured just like a biscuit.

What the...? That's nuts, Keni.

VERSION # 1:
1 cup self-raising flour
pinch of salt
1/2 cup fresh or powdered milk
Clarified fat
VERSION # 2:
2 cups of self raising flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
¾ cup milk

VERSION # 1:
Sift flour and salt. Add the milk near all at once and make into a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured board and knead slightly.
Press out one inch thick. Cut with a small round cutter.
Make a small quantity of clarified fat moderately hot in a small frying pan. Put the puftaloons in and fry gently until golden brown underneath, then turn and cook till the other side is brown. Drain on absorbent paper then serve hot.
VERSION # 2:
Mix flour and salt
Using fingers, rub butter or margarine into flour till it looks like breadcrumbs – just a little, no big lumps
Make a well in the centre and mix in milk to form a soft dough
Knead lightly
Roll or pat out into 2cm square and cut into rounds with a cutter or a knife
Fry bacon till crispy and then cook the puftaloons in the bacon fat till brown on each side OR heat some oil in a frying pan – not a lot, this is not deep frying – and cook them till golden and fluffy turning over as needed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serve with golden syrup, jam, bacon, honey, vegemite, golden syrup, jam, peanut butter, tomato sauce, whatever you like.

Neener, neener.

Thank you ladies. I ate both of them. Its no wonder I haven't had lunch yet. :-D

Think I would opt for ver#2 with the bacon then do up some eggs for a nice breakfast.
