This website is about cutting unnecessary additives out of your life, not fat or sugar!! Here's an 'anytime' treat. The recipe below makes enough for two people, or one greedy one (eg me).
Ingredients
- Self Raising Flour - 4 oz
- Butter - a good oz + more for frying
- Currants or other fruit - 4 oz
- Ground Nutmeg - 1/2 tsp
- Egg - 1
- Milk - 3 floz / 90 ml
method
- Rub the butter into the flour until well incorporated (I hate doing this, but it's worth it!)
- Push the flour up the sides of the bowl to make a well, pour the milk and crack the egg into this well.
- Beat the milk and egg together with a fork, then carry on beating, gradually working in the flour. Youre aiming for a smooth, creamy, thick batter.
- Stir in the nutmeg and fruit.
- Heat a frying pan or griddle, melting some butter.
- Drop a good tablespoonful of the mixture into the pan, you can do 3 or 4 at a time in a 12" pan
- Cook until they're set and golden brown on the bottom. Turn them over, and cook the other side to match.
- Serve with a little lemon juice and sugar, or syrup, honey, or whatever you fancy.
- Enjoy!

Ooooo Mmmmmmm etc.
Your drop scones are delicious.
I'll have to stop reading this blog just before going to bed. I'm going to have to have an extra supper now (oh, how I suffer).
Oh that sounds yummy. I might have to try those.
