Scotch Pancakes


Description/Notes:

A pancake that’s not only a teatime treat but is equally delicious fried with bacon and egg for breakfast, if you manage to have any left over. Scotch Pancakes are also known as Drop Scones

Ingredients:

Half an ounce (15g) butter

1tbsp milk

1tbsp glolden syrup

6oz (175g) plain flour

1tsp cream of tartar

2tsp baking powder

1 egg

quarter pint (150ml) milk

1oz (25g) caster sugar

pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions:

Place the syrup, butter and 1tbsp of milk into a small pan, heat gently until ingredients are melted then leave to cool

Sift the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl then make a well in the center

Add the egg, melted ingredients and half the milk before using a spoon to mix into a thick batter

Stir in the remaining milk, beat for a couple of minutes until the batter has a thick coating consistency

Stand for 15 minutes

Lightly grease a griddle or heavy based frying pan warmed over a medium heat

Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the pan of griddle and cook until bubbles rise to the surface and burst

Turn the pancakes over with a palette knife and continue cooking until a golden brown

When the pancakes are cooked. Place them between two clean tea-towels on a wire rack

Serve buttered and top with syrup or jam

Answer 3

Do you mean "silver dollar" pancakes? They are the same batter as big pancakes, just poured into small dollops, the size of a silver dollar coin. Maybe 1 Tbsp. of batter each.

Here's a good recipe.


Fluffy & Light Pancakes

2 1/4 cups Self-Rising Flour
1/4 c melted butter or margarine
2 tsp. sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs, separated

Combine Flour, margarine, sugar, milk, and egg yolks. Beat egg whites until stiff. FOLD egg whites into batter. Cook on greased griddle.

Answer 4

have a look on an English web site for cookery. We call them "drop scones" and you will need a griddle ( or a good frying pan, and creme of tartar. Everything else will be in your cupboard I suspect. They are easy:

1 scant cup self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon margarine
1/4 cup sugar
One egg, beaten with 3 tablespoons milk
half teasp creme of tartar.

mix sugar and margarine and then the egg & milk, finallay add the flour and cree of tartar to make a heavy batter. Add a little more milk if necessary. Lightly grease the frying pan and get it hot and ad a spoon of the batter. pop any air bubbles and turn over when brown
