Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 eggs -- 60 g with shell each, room temperature
4 tablespoons caster sugar -- fine granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk -- divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
This drop scones recipe is initially found in the letter that Queen
Elizabeth II's sent to President Eisenhower back in 1960. It's also
how it was named and soon became a popular recipe worldwide.
Drop scones are also called Scotch pancakes. The name may trick you,
but the recipe will tell the truth. These drop scones are actually
pancakes, and they're not baked but cooked on a griddle or nonstick
pan just like any other pancakes.
Directions:
Add eggs, sugar and half of the milk to a large bowl, and keep
beating the ingredients with a whisk until well combined.
Add flour, baking soda and cream of tartar to the wet ingredients,
and continually whisk while adding the rest of the milk little by
little until the batter becomes smooth and slowly drips off the
spoon. Then, fold in the melted butter.
Heat a griddle or a nonstick frying pan on medium-low heat. Drop 1
1/2 tablespoons of batter into the pan, and space out each pancake
for 1 to 2 inches.
Let pancakes cook for 1 to 2 minutes until small bubbles form on the
surface, flip them over with a spatula. Continue cooking the other
side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
Dish out and serve immediately with butter and syrup on top.
Tips:
When combining the wet and dry ingredients, slowly add the rest of
the whole milk a bit at a time while whisking. The batter should be
smooth and a little bit thick than runny. Discard any remaining milk
to avoid a watery batter.
Do Not sit the batter for too long or overnight. For the most fluffy
drop scones, prepare the batter right before cooking.
To make the perfect golden brown drop scones, keep the griddle on
medium or medium-low heat and cook the pancakes patiently.
