How to cook deliciously - Queen Elizabeth's Drop Scones

1. Stage

Mix the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl.

2. Stage

Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Then whisk in most of the milk.

3. Stage

Make the batter: Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the milk egg mixture. Whisk until smooth, adding more milk until you get the right consistency - thin enough to spread on the pan, but not so thin as to run. Fold in the melted butter.

4. Stage

Cook the drop scones: Heat a griddle or large cast iron pan on medium to medium low heat. Coat the pan with a little butter, spreading it with a folded over paper towel. Drop large spoonfuls of batter on the griddle to form pancakes. When bubbles start to appear on the surface (after 2 to 3 minutes), use a metal spatula to flip the pancakes over. Cook for another minute, until lightly browned. Remove to a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm while you cook the rest of the drop scones. Serve with butter, jam, or golden syrup (Americans sub maple syrup). Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
