Nigella Drop Scones Recipe

Nigella Drop Scones

Nigella Drop Scones are small, thick pancakes made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sugar. They are cooked on a griddle or frying pan, similar to American-style pancakes but typically smaller and thicker. These drop scones are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, making them perfect for a quick snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

    • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the self-raising flour, baking powder, and caster sugar together. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
    • Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate jug, whisk the eggs and milk together. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter.
    • Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little butter.
    • Cook the Drop Scones: Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the hot pan, spacing them apart so they have room to spread. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the scones over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
    • Serve Warm: Serve the drop scones warm with butter, syrup, jam, or fresh fruit.
