Drop Scones

When, as a child, we went to visit Gran, she would always serve these drop scones with cups of tea.  They are very easy and I am using them as lunch box fillers for my 8 year old daughter as well.


Makes 9-10 drop scones.
Prep time 2 minutes
Cooking time 12 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons of milk
• Pinch salt
• Pinch sugar
• Self-raising flour
• Butter

Method

1. Pre-heat non-stick frying pan.
2. Beat egg.
3. Add milk, salt, and sugar.
4. Add enough self-raising flour to make a mixture that will ‘drop’ from the spoon.
5. Beat together until well mixed.
6. Add a small amount of butter to the pan (enough to coat the surface).
7. Add a desert spoonful of mixture to the pan to make a 4-5cm round drop scone. The drop scones will be approximately 1-2cm thick.
8. Cook approximately 3 minutes each side or until each side is golden brown.
9. Serve warm with butter, jam and tea.
