Drop Scones

• 1 scant cup self-raising flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1/4 cup sugar
• One egg, beaten with 3 tablespoons milk

1. Mix flour and salt together.
2. Rub in margarine with fingertips.
3. Add sugar, and stir.
4. Add beaten egg and milk to make a smooth batter.
5. Pour a little oil on a well-greased griddle or frying pan.
6. (Mum's note: Pan needs to be pretty damned hot.)
7. Drop three separate spoonfuls in at a time.
8. Leave until bubbles pop on the surface and then turn over and cook till brown on bottom.
9. When done, place in a clean dish towel and cover till all have been cooked.
10. (Mum's note: Not sure why we need to do this, but that is the way I was shown.)
11. Cool, then butter them (liberally) as you serve them.
