Drop Scones  

Recipe from an old friend Bradley Young ( a great fan of Scottish cooking)    

8 ounces self rising flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 level tablespoon caster sugar

1 large egg

1/2 pint milk    

Place the flour ,salt, and sugar into a bowl.  Make a well in the centre and add the egg and the milk gradually, stirring to make a smooth thick batter.  Drop the mixture in tablespoons on to a hot , lightly greased griddle or heavy based frying pan.  Keep the griddle at a steady , moderate heat and after 2-3 minutes when the bubbles show on the surface of the scones, turn over and cook for 2 more minutes.  Place the finished scone in a warm, folded tea towel : this will keep them warm an by keeping them in the steam will prevent them from drying out. 

Serve warm with butter  and jam or honey.   ( cooking times may very depending on your type of cooker)    

Enjoy the scones, Heather (MI, USA)
