Drop Scone Recipe, Please

This sounds like my "Cheese Puffs".
1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon BP, 1 cup grated tasty cheese a good pinch of cayenne (this makes all the difference to the taste).
Lightly beat 1 egg in a cup and top up with milk. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix lightly.
I spoon mine into 12 patty pans and bake in a fairly hot oven for about 15 minutes. Half them and serve buttered.
A friend just drops large spoonfuls straight onto her baking tray and gets about 20 little bites.

I always thought drop scones were the same as pikelets, also known as scotch pancakes or griddle scones in the UK

I have come to the conclussion, that what we here in NZ call pikelets call drop scones or something else. Rather confussing, to say the lest. LOL.

Your recipe for drop scones does sound very similar to a pikelet recipe although the method is different - they were called drop scones because you dropped the batter onto a hot griddle so I believe

Hmm, just inherited a gem iron and have been looking for gem recipies. My old Edmonds book has an "Easy gem recipe", uses pikelet mix.

All the recipes, I have seen are like pikelets.
The recipe I am after are made in muffin tins.
Made with plain flour or with some wholemeal flour.
Many Thanks for any recipes.

Perhaps no one has heard of this recipe.
I managed to get it from a " rellie" and was in her late mothers recipe book, thought I would pass it on.

Drop Scones:

1 Large cup Flour, 2 Tblspns Sugar, Butter size of an Egg, perhaps 1 oz., 1 1/2 tspn baking Powder. Milk to mix. ( own discretion ).

Mix dry ingredients together. Rub in Butter, add egg and Milk. Spoon into Patty Tins and bake in Hot Oven. Approx 10-15 mins.

Nice buttered and the use of Plum Jam, to top.
