Drop scones (scotch pancakes)

These are like scotch pancakes; yummy! DD enjoyed them stacked up with lemon juice and agave syrup, while DH liked them spread with chocolate icing. I always thought it was women who were chocoholics; but not in this house it would seem...

Drop Scones

Ingredients

  • 8oz plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp fructose
  • 2 small eggs
  • around 1/4 pint milk

Method

  • Mix all the dry ingredients together
  • Beat in the 2 eggs and enough milk to make a smooth batter
  • Drop tablespoons of the mix onto a hot frying pan
  • When bubbles appear on the one side, flip them over and cook the other side

We decided these would benefit from some lemon rind and raisins too and they were really nice served warm with butter and strawberry jam.

This is what they look like just before you flip them over:
