Drop Scones Recipe
- 1 scant cup self-raising flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1/4 cup sugar
- One egg, beaten with 3 tablespoons milk
- Mix flour and salt together. Rub in margarine with fingertips.
- Add sugar, and stir. Add beaten egg and milk to make a smooth batter.
- Pour a little oil on a well-greased griddle or frying pan. (Mum's note: Pan needs to be pretty damned hot.) Drop three separate spoonfuls in at a time. Leave until bubbles pop on the surface and then turn over and cook till brown on bottom.
- When done, place in a clean dish towel and cover till all have been cooked. (Mum's note: Not sure why we need to do this, but that is the way I was shown.)
- Cool, then butter them (liberally) as you serve them.
