Easy homemade Drop Scones or Scotch Pancakes recipe

Place the flour, sugar and baking powder into a large bowl and stir to combine. Then, add the orange zest and stir again.

Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the egg and the milk. Stir the wet ingredients gradually pulling the flour into the mixture. Keep whisking until the mixture has formed a smooth batter.

Very lightly oil a frying pan on medium heat. Spoon pools of about 2 tbsp of batter onto the hot surface to shape round pancakes. Let them cook until bubbles and then holes appear on the surface.

Flip the pancakes over and cook on the second side until golden brown. Remove from the heat and cover the pancakes. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.

In a frying pan melt the butter and sugar, stirring them together. Add the banana slices to the butter and sugar and cook for a couple of minutes, then turn off the heat.

In a large saucepan place the butter, sugar and cream and heat them until boiling, stirring all the time. Then, cook for 5 minutes more stirring occasionally. Remove the sauce from the heat and place it into a jug.

Allow the sauce to cool for a couple of minutes, then add the vanilla extract and the salt and stir to combine.

Place some pancakes on a plate and add some banana slices, then pour over as much butterscotch sauce as you want. Enjoy!
