Scotch pancakes, also known as drop scones, are thick, fluffy pancakes that are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat. These delightful pancakes are easy to make and can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings!
Ingredients
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg together until well combined. Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter to grease the pan. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan. Leave space between each pancake as they will spread slightly.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Conclusion
Tips:Serve your Scotch pancakes warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite jam. For a fun twist, try adding blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.These pancakes can be kept warm in the oven or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, then reheated in a toaster or microwave.Enjoy your classic Scotch pancakes as a delightful breakfast or brunch treat!
