["In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the tea leaves-sugar mixture and whisk together briefly to combine.", "Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the egg and a quarter of the milk. Start beating with the whisk, gradually incorporating the flour. Beat in the melted butter and slowly add more milk and incorporate more flour until you have a smooth batter that drops slowly off a tea or tablespoon.", "Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or melted butter. You'll have to cook them in batches - drop tea/tablespoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, leaving room for them to spread. After just a minute or two, they will set and you should see bubbles on the surface. Turn them over so the other side cooks and browns, about another minute. Remove from the pan and set aside in a warm place till all the batter is cooked or used up.

Alternatively, you can cover and refrigerate the left over batter for up to 3 days.", "Serve warm with butter, jam, whipped cream, quarters of citrus, maple syrup.....or do like we do sometimes and dip them in pots of warm chocolate sauce, fondue-style."]
