We enjoyed these quick and easy drop scones with a pot of English breakfast tea this chilly winters morn! Thanks for sharing, Jubes! Made for Tea Party 2010.

We really enjoyed these. My son is the picky one and he loved this. I put the oatmeal through the blender so the final consistency would be like a pancake. Very good!

Anything with oatmeal is a winner for me so I was very keen to try these and they were great - mine were a bit crumbly as I had to use some wholemeal flour as I ran out of white but then I added another egg to help with the binding and the end product was a delicious afternoon tea of quite a rustic type of pikelet - very very moreish too so thank-you **Jubes**
