  • 390 g flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of salt

Preparation

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.

  6. Mix it all into a soft batter.
  7. Let the batter rest in the fridge for 2 hours.

  9. Bake them until golden brown.

Preparation for the topping

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl to form a soft and creamy batter.
