Drop Scones
115g (4 oz) self raising flour
25g (1 oz) caster sugar
1 egg
150ml (¼ pint) milk
To serve:
Maple syrup or honey or spread with butter
These scones are cooked direct on the hotplate on a simmering to moderate heat.
They are also known as Scotch Pancakes, Griddle Scones, Crempogs or just plain Pancakes! This recipe uses self raising flour whereas older recipes use a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar for the raising agent.
Method
Place the flour and sugar into a basin, mix together. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and half the milk. Whisk together, adding the remainder of the milk to make a smooth batter.
2, 3 and 4-oven AGA
Lightly oil the Simmering Plate with a little oil on a piece of kitchen paper. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the surface. Cook one side then flip over and cook the other. Keep warm in a clean tea towel and serve with maple syrup or honey, warmed at the back of the AGA – or you can spread them with softened butter.

These are incredible. They take five minutes to prepare, and 30 seconds to cook. You may need to leave your hotplate lid (right hand side) open for a few minutes to let it cool, otherwise they burn quickly. Remember to oil the plate with a neutral oil - canola, sunflower, something that won't burn - first.. Just pour a little oil onto a pad of kitchen towel and rub it over the hotplate.
