Puffdaloons
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.

- With a knife "cut" the egg and milk/water through the flour mix until and dough forms.
- Turn onto a floured workbench and gently push dough together. You don't want to over work the dough or they will be tough.
