Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons butter
  2. a pinch of cinnamon

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Rub 2 tablespoons butter into a quart of ‘flour, into which has been sifted a little salt and 2 small teaspoons Magic Baking Powder.
  2. Add enough milk to make a soft dough, turn upon a floured pastry board and roll into a sheet.
  3. Cut the sheet into squares and stand in each square an apple which has been peeled, cored and filled with sugar, a bit of butter and a pinch of cinnamon.
  4. Fold dough over, - and bake in a buttered pan.
  5. Serve with hara sauce.
