Drop Scones


From the kitchen of: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Review: 3/5
"Her Majesty served these drop scones to President Dwight Eisenhower in 1959. He loved the scones so much that she later shared the recipe with him."

This recipie makes a *very* thick pancake. Cook slow, or you'll burn the outside while the center is still raw.

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp superfine sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
2 teacups whole milk (1 1/2 cups)
4 teacups flour (3 cups)
2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cream of tartar
2 Tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

1. Combine sugar, eggs, and half of the mild and whisk until well combined.

2. Add flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix to a thick paste.

3. Add the remaining milk a bit at a time until the batter is smooth and drips slowly off a spoon.

4. Fold in the melted butter.

5. Drop a few heaping teaspoons onto a hot griddle or skillet and cook as you would pancakes.

6. Serve with butter, jam, maple syrup, or berries.
