Scotch pancakes, also known as drop scones, are thick, fluffy pancakes that are easy to make and deliciously satisfying. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat, these pancakes can be enjoyed with syrup, jam, or fresh fruit!

Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, caster sugar, and baking powder. This will create a light and fluffy base for your pancakes.

    Step 2

    In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

    Step 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

    Step 4

    Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter or oil.

    Step 5

    For each pancake, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

    Step 6

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

    Conclusion

    Tips:Serve your Scotch pancakes warm with maple syrup, fruit preserves, or fresh berries for a delicious treat! You can also add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for added flavor. Enjoy these pancakes fresh, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving!
