Puffdaloons

Submitted by Coasty

"This is something my Welsh Nana would make for Sunday night. Not quite sure if she just made up the name for these, but its basically a scone fried. Very tasty with pea & ham soup! My family always makes scones by sitting milk out of the fridge so it sours and then mixing it half/half with water."
