Scotland's version of the scone, sometimes known as
"Scot's Pancake". Looks more like a crumpet, though
the texture resembles a pancake.

Preheat a griddle or heavy skillet over high heat;
grease lightly. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into
a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Add buttermilk, egg,
and melted butter and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto griddle or skillet,
spacing scones well apart. Cook a few minutes or
until tops are bubbling and undersides are golden
brown; flip over with a wide spatula and cook until
brown on other side. As scones are cooked, wrap them
in a cloth towl or napkin to keep them moist and warm
while you cook remaining scones. Serve warm with
butter. Makes 12 to 15 scones.

VARIATIONS: Fruit Drop Scones - Add 1/2 cup raisins
(plumped) to dry ingredients.
