Ingredients

  • 400 flour all-purpose
  • teaspoons baking soda 
  • teaspoons cream of tartar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  •  eggs 
  • 350 ml milk whole (and maybe a little more if needed)
  • tablespoons butter melted
  • 0.3 cup white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • whisk
  • kitchen towels
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Then whisk in most of the milk.
  3. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the milk egg mixture.
  4. Whisk until smooth, adding more milk until you get the right consistency - thin enough to spread on the pan, but not so thin as to run. Fold in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a griddle or large cast iron pan on medium to medium low heat. Coat the pan with a little butter, spreading it with a folded over paper towel. Drop large spoonfuls of batter on the griddle to form pancakes. When bubbles start to appear on the surface (after 2 to 3 minutes), use a metal spatula to flip the pancakes over. Cook for another minute, until lightly browned.
  6. Remove to a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm while you cook the rest of the drop scones.
  7. Serve with butter, jam, or golden syrup (Americans sub maple syrup).
