My mum made these as well, she also made 'drop scones' which were scones dropped into boiling water to cook, sweet dumplings really.
ReplyDeleteI remember 'midnight' feasts of them, hot from the pot and smothered with golden syrup, thanks for reminding me of that pleasure :)
Tried these tonight after picking up the scone tray for 50c at a fair on the weekend, they are absolutely scrumptious, I may have eaten half a tray on my own while tipping them out! Thanks for posting. Also found a recipe in the Commonsense Cookery book so I'll try that next time.
