Scotch Pancakes or Drop Scones

Submitted by Cat R.

"These are little pancakes, thicker than the Shove Tuesday, crepe-y ones. Eat hot, or cold the next day. Can add raisins, spices, other fruits to the batter if you like."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 18 pancakes

ingredients

• 120 g self raising flour
• 30 g caster sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 egg
• 1⁄4 pint milk

directions

1. Mix or sift the flour, sugar and salt together.
2. Make a well/hollow in the flour, then add the egg and milk into it.
3. Mix, incorporating the flour from around the well until you have a thick, smooth batter that drops from the spoon like thick cream. (If you want to add any extras, do it now.).
4. Heat a frying pan with a little butter or oil, wipe off if there's too much.
5. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter into the pan. Leave enough room between them to manouver a fish slice/your preferred pancake turning implement.
6. When bubbles appear, turn the pancakes over and cook until lightly browned and no longer battery.
7. Serve with butter, jam or honey or anything you fancy.

Perfect! - just like those my Mum made for sunday tea back in the day. I used tablespoonful of batter at a time - got about 10 exactly the size I wanted. Yummy with butter and golden syrup.

These pancakes are delicious! I really don't like the thin pancakes that spread all over the frying pan so these were great. Just like my dad used to make when I was little. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe made 9 pancakes approximately 3.5 inches in diameter. They were delicious, but I felt may be a bit heavy. More milk may be needed.
