Ingredients:

800g flour
1 pinch salt
2 tsp sugar
280ml milk

Method:

Knead all the ingredients together to make a firm dough. Flatten with a rolling pin to about 6mm thick then cut into 10cm rounds.

Place a heavy cast iron pan on medium heat and sprinkle with flour. Place the muffin circles in the pan and brown on both sides for about 10 minutes a side. They will puff-up to about four times their original height and as they're fairly plain they make an excellent accompaniment to a stew or curry.
