  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the free-range eggs and milk. This creates a smooth liquid mixture that will help bind the drop scone batter.

  • Gradually add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly until they are well combined. This ensures that the batter is evenly mixed without any dry pockets of flour.
  • To prevent the drop scones from drying out, stir in the oil until it is fully incorporated into the batter. This also adds a touch of richness and moisture to the scones.
    Oil
  • Now it's time to heat up the griddle pan. Grease the griddle pan with oil to prevent the drop scones from sticking.
  • Spoon small amounts of batter onto the griddle, allowing enough space between the scones to prevent them from merging together. The size of the scones is entirely up to your preference.
  • Cook the drop scones over medium heat until bubbles start to form on the surface. This indicates that the scones are cooking through and getting nice and fluffy.
  • Using a spatula or flipper, gently flip the scones over and continue cooking until they turn a beautiful golden brown color. This adds a lovely caramelization and crispness to the exterior.
  • Once the drop scones are cooked to perfection, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving plate. They are now ready to be enjoyed!
