Easy drop scones recipe
Start the day right and fill your home with the delicious aroma of freshly cooked drop scones. They will pair well with a zingy apple and berry compote as well as a drizzle of maple syrup. For a savoury option, swap the compote for crispy pancetta.

Step-by-step
- Sift the flours and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Add the sugar and stir to combine.
- Make a well in the centre, and add the eggs, milk and butter.
- Beat with a wooden spoon, gradually incorporating the flour, until you have a thick, smooth batter. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to loosen.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and brush with butter.
- Drop tablespoons of mixture into the pan, leaving space between spoonfuls to allow for spreading.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface, then turn the scones over and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with warmed apple and berry fruit compote and a drizzle of maple syrup, if liked.
