Help!

[quinie]

The last time I tried to make Scotch pancakes (Drop Scones) I could have soled my shoes with them! Tried again tonight- they weren't quite so tough .When I turned them over they looked fine but the other side didn't cook evenly-centre ok but not properly done round the edge. They were a bit misshapen too. Any help would be appreciated-I don't want to admit defeat.

[Stockethill]

4oz plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 beaten egg
1 cup of milk

Sift the flour, soda and cream of tartar into a bowl.
Add the sugar, then gradually add the beaten egg with the milk to form a thick batter.
Grease the griddle with a little (olive) oil.
When hot enough drop the batter a spoonful at a time and cook until bubbles form on the top.
Turn over and cook on the other side.
This is a recipe my sister gave me donkey's years ago and always works out fine.

Thank you so much, Stockethill, for taking the time to give me your recipe.I'll certainly try it out.
Wish I'd kept my mother's girdle !
