Drop Scones (Scotch Pancakes)

Ingredients

• 150g/5oz of Self Raising Flour
• 2 tsp caster sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 Large Egg (beaten)
• 150ml / quarter pint of Milk
• butter for greasing the frying pan

Method

1. Sieve the flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl.
2. Beat in the egg and then start to add the milk a bit at a time - don't make it too thin & runny - just pourable.
3. Heat up the frying pan (skillet) to a medium heat and coat the base with butter.
4. Pour the batter on one tablespoon at a time, not too close together, to make little pancakes. (Maybe do a single one as a test)
5. As soon as bubbles start to appear and then burst - turn the pancakes over. This should take about one minute per side or until golden. If the pan is too hot they'll brown too quickly before the bubbles burst.
6. Let the scotch pancakes cool for a minute before trying.
7. Eat with honey, syrup or butter and jam.
