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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 2

Cut the butter into small pieces and crumble it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then mix in the milk until combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the Tuppakaka from the skillet or oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, cheese, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
