INGREDIENTS (MAKES ABOUT EIGHT "THIN" PANCAKES)

240g/8oz plain white flour
Two eggs 
½ litre / 1pt milk
Small pinch of salt
Unsalted butter for frying
Serve with anything you like, but I recommend melted butter with lemon and sugar or maple syrup with ice cream.

METHOD

  1. Whisk together the milk,eggs and salt.
  2. Fold in the seived flour a little at a time, and whisk until smooth.
  3. Heat a small amount of butter in a frying pan until it almost starts to smoke.
  4. Pour in enough batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan.
  5. Cook until it reaches a light golden brown colour, then turn pancake over and cook the other side to the same point.
Note : the first pancake will be a disaster – it always is. It is known in our house as “one for the dog” and serves to season the pan. Don’t worry, all the rest will cook OK and come out in one piece.

For a lighter, crispier batter use ½ milk and ½ beer!

DEFINITIONS

To fold: Usually egg whites or whipped cream are folded into a heavier mixture, for a souffle, cake, or pie filling. The lighter mixture is placed on top of the heavier mixture, then the two are combined by passing a spatula down through the mixture, across the bottom, and up over the top. This process continues until the mixtures are combined. This traps air into bubbles in the product, allowing baked goods to rise.

To melt: Use a high temperature to turn a fat into liquid.

To whisk: To beat a mixture vigorously with a whisk.

Cook Time  10 mins
Total Time  20 mins
 Servings: 8

Ingredients
  • 350 g self-raising flour *** Please seive US Measure is 2 cups and 13 tablespoons
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp caster or regular sugar
  • 3 oz or 85 g butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup or 175 ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A squeeze lemon juice
  • beaten egg to glaze
  • 1 cup or 200 g raisins dried fruit etc of your choice. (I used raisins)
Instructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 220C/ 425 F / Gas 7. Also pre heat your baking tray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the sifted flour, salt and baking powder,and combine.
  3. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Using a flat bladed knife, stir in the sugar.
  4. Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla and lemon juice, then set aside for 2 minutes.
  5. Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a flat bladed knife. Once combined, place it on a well dusted work surface.
Try to handle the dough as little as possible, and not be heavy handed. This will cause the scones to be heavy and tough
  1. Take a 5cm (2 inch) cutter -( Plain cutters cut more cleanly and give a better rise than patterned edge cutters ) and dip it into some flour. Plunge in a single movement into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones.
*** See tip below for cutting.
  1. By this point you'll probably need to press what's left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four. Try not to over work the dough, be light with your hands when reshaping.
To ensure your scones rise vertically in the oven, when you use your cutter, be sure to cut the scone in one vertical action straight down through the dough. When removing the cutter, DO NOT do a twisting action, but remove the cutter straight up. If you twist the cutter, this will destroy the structure of the dough and you will not get the scones to rise properly with the classic break apart in the middle look.
  1. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then carefully place onto the hot baking tray. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top.
