INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4)100g wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 large egg, beaten
150 ml semi skimmed milk
1 large egg, beaten
150 ml semi skimmed milk
DIRECTIONS
Mix together the dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well for the egg. Break the egg into the well and then mix together quickly with a metal spoon, gradually adding the milk until you have a smooth batter.
Don't let the mixture rest, use it immediately.
Heat a non-stick frying pan and melt a knob of butter in it.
Drop a level tablespoon of batter into the pan for each scone.
TOP TIP- drop the batter from the tip of the spoon for round cakes and from the side of the spoon for oval cakes.
Cook gently for a couple of minutes until bubbles start to appear and then flip over and cook for a minute on the other side. If there is room in your pan you can do more than one at a time.
Cook the scrambled egg - melt a knob of butter in a small saucepan and when the butter starts to sizzle slightly, pour in the egg mixture. Cook on a low heat, stirring slowly until the mixture begins to thicken and starts to become creamy. Remove from the heat immediately now before the mixture goes solid.
