Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 25 g Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 200 ml Milk
- 25 g Butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
- Optional toppings (e.g., jam, honey, or fresh fruit)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Stir in the sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until you have a smooth, thick batter. Avoid overmixing.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a tablespoon, drop small dollops of batter onto the pan, leaving space between each scone as they spread slightly.
Cook the scones for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Carefully flip each scone with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the pan and place them on a plate lined with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the drop scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as jam, honey, butter, or fresh fruit.
