Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 180 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the milk and melted butter, whisking until fully combined.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until you have a smooth, thick batter. Avoid overmixing as this can make the scones dense.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5

Using a spoon, drop small dollops of batter (approximately 2 tablespoons each) onto the preheated pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 6

Cook each scone for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Carefully flip the scone using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the drop scones warm with butter, jam, honey, or even a dollop of clotted cream.
