Steps:
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
- Add the salt and sugar and stir together.
- Beat an egg and add with about 100ml of the milk, stirring thoroughly to make a thick batter, and adding extra milk to thin the mixture to the consistency that you want. The thicker it is the thicker your drop scones will be.
- Heat a pan (ideally nonstick) to a medium-hot temperature and put in a drop of vegetable oil or coconut oil to lightly grease it. Once you've initially greased the pan you usually shouldn't need to do so again.
- We use a tablespoon to measure out the mixture into the pan at around 3 to 4 pancakes a time, depending on the size. If you want bigger pancakes then use a 1/4 cup, or freehand pour from a jug.
- Once bubbles form on the surface it's time to flip! Leave for another minute or so in the pan to cook through and remove onto a plate and cover with a tea towel to keep them soft.
- If you're using a tablespoon to measure out the pancakes this mixture will make around 20 10-12cm pancakes.
SCOTCH PANCAKES
Simple no-fuss pancake recipe. The cream of tartar makes the pancakes fluffy and not flat. Add a dash of vanilla for a sweeter flavor. Serve with butter, jam, and cream.

Steps:
- Mix together flour, sugar, cream of tartar, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add milk and eggs; stir until batter is the consistency of thick cream.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by spoonfuls into the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

IRISH PANCAKES ALSO KNOWN AS SCOTTISH PANCAKES
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.

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.
