Baked Yeast Breakfast Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 lb all-purpose flour
• 2 oz unsalted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• warm milk
• additional flour for rolling

Method

1. 1 Rub the butter and salt into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. 2 Beat the egg smooth, then mix with yeast and enough warm milk to create a fritter-like batter.
3. 3 Stir the yeast mixture into the flour. Beat vigorously by hand until the batter pulls away from the bowl sides.
4. 4 Cover and let rise for 3 to 4 hours. Then, add enough flour to form a stiff paste suitable for rolling.
5. 5 Roll out the dough, cut into cakes, and prick the center of each with a skewer.
6. 6 Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
