Drop Scones

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tbsp melted butter, plus extra for the griddle
• Golden syrup or jam, to serve

Before you cook

• Sift the self-raising flour and sugar into a bowl.
• Beat the egg into the milk in a separate bowl.
• Stir the melted butter into the egg and milk mixture.

Steps

1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
2. Whisk until the batter is smooth and thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from a spoon.
3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
4. Heat a griddle or heavy non-stick pan over medium heat until very hot.
5. Grease the griddle lightly with butter.
6. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the griddle, spacing them apart.
7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is golden.
8. Flip each scone and cook for 2 more minutes, until golden on both sides.
9. Transfer the cooked scones to a clean tea towel and wrap to keep warm.
10. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle between batches.
11. Serve warm with butter and golden syrup or jam.
