Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 180 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until you have a smooth, thick batter. Avoid overmixing as this can make the scones dense.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Using a spoon, drop small dollops of batter (approximately 2 tablespoons each) onto the preheated pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Cook each scone for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Carefully flip the scone using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve the drop scones warm with butter, jam, honey, or even a dollop of clotted cream.
