Rachel Allen's Drop Scones

食材

100 g self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

25 g caster sugar

pinch of salt

1 organic egg

125 ml milk

drop of sunflower oil, for greasing

步驟

Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the sugar and salt and stir to mix.

Make a well in the centre, crack in the egg and whisk, gradually drawing in the flour from the edge. Add the milk gradually, whisking all the time, to form a smooth batter.

Lightly grease a frying pan and warm it over a moderate heat. Drop 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, keeping them well apart so they don’t stick together.

Cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and begin to burst and the drop scones are golden underneath (and not before).

Then flip them over and cook on the other side for a minute or so, until golden on this side as well.

Remove from the pan and serve warm with butter and jam, apple jelly, lemon curd or chocolate spread.
