By long standing convention, pizza and pancakes are not "baking" for the purposes of the blog (mostly because I make them so much more frequently than anything else and I'm too lazy to write them up every single time). But we'll make an exception this time around because, rather incredibly, I don't think I've ever made drop scones/scotch pancakes before - at least not that I can recall. Well, today I fixed that!
Drop Scones
Ingredients
- 200g Plain flour
- 2 tsp/10g Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp/3.5g* Salt
- 50g Caster sugar
- 1 Egg
- 270ml Milk
Method
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Beat egg and milk together.
- Pour liquid into dry ingredients gradually, mixing to a batter around the consistency of double cream.
- Fry a couple of tablespoons of batter at a time, flipping after ~2-3 mins once a crust has formed and the surface goes bubbly.
Here's about half the stack. The other half might have got eaten before I thought to take a picture...
*In case anyone's wondering, after struggling for years with measuring out salt accurately and screwing bread up far too many times because of it, I finally went and bought a teeny tiny set of digital scales that weighs down to 0.01g precision. While I use it almost exclusively for salt, I suspect most other people who own such scales are very keen to measure quantities of herbs extremely accurately. Still, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who also struggles with getting quantities of salt perfect when baking!
