Ingredients
- 1 cup of plain (all-purpose) flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 Tbsp of butter, diced
- 1 egg beaten
- 2/3 cup of milk
Preparation
Step 1
Sift flour, baking soda and cream of tartar together into a mixing bowl. Add the diced butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine, evenly textured breadcrumbs.
Lightly grease a griddle pan or heavy frying pan, then preheat it. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then stir in the egg. Add the milk (a little at a time) stirring and adding milk until a thick consistency.
Cook the scones in batches in the milk mixture. Drop 3 or 4 evenly sized spoonfuls of the mixture, spaced slightly apart, on the griddle or frying pan. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles rise up to the surface and burst.
Turn the scones over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Place the cooked scones between the folds of a paper towel while cooking to keep them warm. Serve with butter and honey or any topping of your choice.
