Be-Ro Dropped Scones for Breakfast (Griddle Cakes) – Old fashioned Griddle pancakes, also called Dropped Scones, these are easy to make and make a lovely breakfast dish, tea time treat or a dessert dish.

Old

It’s one of those mornings where you fancy something a little different, not toast and certainly not cereal, but a good old-fashionedhome-stylebreakfast, in the manner of Little House on the Prairie or Enid’s Blyton’s The Famous Five……..something tasty and filling, and so it was that I made some dropped scones (drop scones) for breakfast and my meal plan yesterday. The idea came after Ihad beenperusing some of mum’s old cookbooks; I always love looking at her old tattered and torn Be-Ro cookbooks, as well as her scrapbook of hastilyscribbledtreats on the backs of envelopes and even librarytickets…….any writing space is grabbed when sharing and copying recipes. In her oldest Be-Ro cookbook, there are tempting recipes for “Fancies” and “Jam Cakes” as well as easy to make “Milk Fadge” and “London Buns”. And although we live in an age where we have access to the most amazing selection of global ingredients, where Balsamic Vinegar, Miso and Sushi rule, the recipe names and photos that fill mum’s old 1950’s Be-Ro cookbook seem to resonate with me, and I am drawn to the naive drawings of “housewives” plying theirhousewifelytrade that are littered throughout the book.

Scotch Pancakes Recipe

Happy ladies in polka-dotted aprons are busily mixing cakes and rolling pastry, whilst childrengaily run and leap around laden tea time tables.……the photos are slightly out of focus and faded and yet that only adds to the charm of the recipe……oldfashionednames leap from the pages, suet pastry and steak and kidney pies jostle for position with rock buns and coconut cake……and whocouldn’tresist a vanilla slice with a slice of granny loaf?Brandy snaps and crunchies tempt me, as well as the butterfly cakes, but for a home-style breakfast there can be nothing asnice as a batch of griddle scones, also known as dropped scones, drop scones, Scotch pancakes and griddle cakes.

These breakfast treats are easy to make and the hardest thing you have to do is to stand at the cooker whilst cooking them on the griddle, flipping them over after 3 to 4 minutes before adding the next batch. I keep mine warm whilst I am cooking them by popping them in a warm oven with some foillooselycovering the plate. These are just as nice cold, buttered with some home-made jam on them……but the best way to devour these little morsels is to spread them liberally with butter and then douse them with maple syrup or honey…….yup, I know, prettysybariticeh?

I am now on a mission to make more fascinatingly simple retro favourites from this 1950’s cookbook……next on my list is a granny loaf, and then maybe a batch ofLondonbuns or some Victoria scones; I am also going to try the no-yeast quick bread called Milk Fadge, I feel the need to investigate that recipe soon. I may even have a perm, don a spotted apron, wear red lipstick, atwin setand pearls and make my way to aFormicaclad kitchen with acres of chrome, whilst wearing a fixed Stepford Wives smile as I happily mix and stir throughout the day.

I am off out this afternoon to not so sunny Scarborough, but I will leave you with the original recipe as printed in the 1950’s Be-Ro cookbook, and PLEASE do try these out, the addition of the rubbed in margarine or butter makes these dropped scones so light and fluffy. See you later with my tales of Blog Camp and business cards…….bye for now, Karen.

PS: I also have some tasty Scotty Brand potato posts planned, as well as my usual Fish Fanatic recipes to share too…….see you later, Karen.

Mix the flour and salt together, then rub in the margarine or butter; add the sugar, and the beaten egg and milk to make a thick batter. Add essence or extract if using.

Cook 2 or 3 at a time by dropping spoonfuls of the mixture on a moderately hot, well-greased griddle, or a heavy-based frying pan.

N.B A baking griddle should be well-greased, then heated until a little water sprinkled on the surface skips about in balls, evaporating. A heavy cast-iron frying pan makes a good substitute

Grandma Abson's Traditional Baking: Back To The Bero Book

What is your favourite cookbook and how old is it? Do you like replicating classic recipes and what’s your best recipe to date? Are you a baking addict and what’s your signature recipe?These pancakes are one of my favourite memories of childhood. My mum made them every year for Shrove Tuesday - or as you may know it Pancake Day! She used an old Be-Ro recipe book for the recipe that was handed down from my grandmother. I've modernised the recipe by changing it from ounces to grams and I've also added some sugar to create these delicious Traditional English Pancakes. These days I make them for my family!

Be-Ro (originally called Bells-Royal) is one of the first popular brands of self-raising flour in the North of England. Plain flour was most commonly used, until the 1920s when Be-Ro used these recipe books to market the product and show how useful self-raising flour was. The recipe books helped the brand to become famous and are still being produced now, with the 41st edition published August 2011.

The edition I used is their 19th edition and was published in 1956. The entire book is in black and white, including all the photos. Nothing like the recipe books today! The book is full of some brilliantly old school tips and phrases, such as The woman who can cook well and bake well has every reason and every right to be proud of her cooking - something which is definitely still true today! And for men too!

To make the batter, weigh out the flour and sugar in a bowl, stir them together, then whisk in the eggs. Then add the milk slowly and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Heat up a frying pan and before cooking each pancake, put a spritz of oil in the pan or a small knob of butter. Measure the batter out using a ladle, add to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.

Self raising flour, which is very commonly used in the UK where I am based, already contains a raising agent and a little salt too. Therefore if you want to swap it for plain or all purpose flour, you will need to add some additional baking powder and also a little salt if you like. Some people like to add salt to recipes and some don't, so I'll leave that up to you as it won't affect the pancakes. The general advice is to add 2 teaspoons baking powder (a measuring teaspoon, not the kind you stir your coffee with) per every 200g plain or all purpose flour. So for this recipe you'd need to add 2 + ¾ teaspoons baking powder. Please note, I have not tested this recipe using plain or all purpose flour.

Yes! For gluten free you can replace the self raising flour with a gluten free self raising flour blend. If you only have a gluten free plain flour blend, you will need to add baking powder. The general advice is to add 2 tsp baking powder per 200g flour, so for this recipe you'd need to add 2 + ¾ teaspoons baking powder. You may also like to add ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum for better texture.
