Ingredients
  

  • 4 1/2 oz plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 oz caster sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 4 tbsp milk to mix to a batter
  • Few drops lemon juice
  • Butter for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour and sugar and make a well in the center.
  • Crack in the egg and begin whisking, incorporating some of the flour and sugar, a bit at a time. Add milk slowly to form a thick, smooth batter. Then add a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Melt a little bit of butter in a heavy-based frying pan and carefully spoon some of the mixture into the center of the pan, making a round scone (when you have tried a couple, you will be able to do more than 1 in a pan). Cook for about 2 mins on each side, then transfer to a warm dish.
  • Serve with whatever toppings you wish (maple syrup, jam, honey, or whipped cream) and eat hot or cold. Simple as that!

Notes

You can store these drop scones in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them for a few months.
