Irish Pancakes also known as Scottish Pancakes image

This recipe has been placed here for play in Culinary Quest - Ireland. Recipe found at http://www.irelandseye.com/aarticles/culture/recipes/cooking/pancakes.shtm. These are also known as Scotch Pancakes, especially in the North of Ireland. They must be cooked as soon as possible after mixing, because the acid in the buttermilk starts to react with the baking soda at once. For that reason the griddle or pan should be heated before combining the ingredients.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cup(s) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) sugar
1 large egg
1 cup(s) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.
  • Make a well in the middle with a wooden spoon and add the egg.
  • Break the yolk and pour in the buttermilk, mixing quickly to a thick batter.
  • Do not beat, as this would develop the gluten in the flour and prevent the pancakes from rising.
  • Fry in large dollops on a lightly-greased, hot griddle or heavy frying-pan.
  • Drop scones are best served hot for tea, thickly spread with melting butter and syrup or jam.
