Recipe - Griddle Scones

1 cup Selfrising flour
1 pn Salt
3 tablespoon Butter or margarine
2/3 cup Currants
Three fourths teaspoon Groung nutmeg
1 Egg
1/3 cup Milk

Keywords: Scones, sugar free, bread

Preparation time 15 minutes, cooking time about 4 minutes per scone.

Mix the flour and salt together, and rub in the butter until the mixture
resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Stir in the currants and nutmeg, then push the mixture gently to the sides
of the bowl to form a well in the center.

Beat together the egg and milk, and pour into the well in the center of the
flour.

Using a wooden spoon, mix the egg and milk mixture into the flour, stirring
from the center of the bowl and drawing the flour in from the sides to form
a smooth, thick batter. If batter is too thick, add a little extra milk
until it becomes a soft dropping consistency.

Heat a heavybased frying pan on top of a moderate heat, and grease with a
little butter or oil.

Drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot pan, and cook for 23 minutes,
or until the bases are set and have turned golden brown.

Turn the scones over and cook on the other side in the same way.

Serve from the pan with sugarfree preserves.

NOTE: These scones freeze well, and can be reheated by wrapping in a
clean dish towel and standing in a warm oven until they are heated through.
