Drop Scones (Scotch Pancakes) Recipe

Makes about 6
125g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
salt
25g caster sugar
2 eggs
Approx 100ml milk
25g melted butter

or

125g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
salt
20g sugar
1egg
approx 150ml milk

Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Add the eggs and stir a bit, add the melted butter (or some milk if using recipe without butter) and stir some more
Add a little of the milk and stir until smooth
Add more milk until you have a thick creamy mixture. It should be stiffer than for crepe type pancakes but runnier than american pancakes. When you drop it in the pan you want it to spread out but not be so runny it spreads to fill the pan.
Put a frying pan on a medium heat and add a little butter.
Add spoonfuls of the mixture, the pan shouldn't sizzle as you add the mixture, but the butter should bubble a bit.

Bubbles will start to rise after a few minutes (mmmm that makes me think of crumpets I must make them soon!) at which point you should turn the pancake over

When they are cooked on both sized stack them up and put them in a cool oven while you cook further batches.

Serve with butter and jam. Yummy!
