Quick Chocolate Drop Scones

DIRECTIONS

• Sieve the flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry mix and pour in the beaten egg.
• Using a wooden spoon, beat the egg, gradually drawing in the flour. Add the milk a little at a time, while continuously mixing, until a smooth batter is achieved.
• Add the melted butter.
• Melt half the extra butter in a heavy-based frying pan and drop spoonfuls of the batter in the pan.
• Cook for 1 minute or so, until bubbles begin to rise to the surface.
• Flip over, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Repeat for the rest of the scones.
• Warm the cherry compote in a small pan.
• Serve the scones with the warm compote and thick cream.
