Readig the recipe below - I may have mis-spoken about not having had a scone. If, in fact, these are scones and not panquakes, as the recipe author suggests. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: St. Swithin's Drop Scones Categories: Five, Breads Yield: 4 Servings 4 1/2 oz Self-raising flour 2 ts Caster sugar 1 lg Egg; beaten 2 tb Melted unsalted butter 150 ml Semi-skimmed milk Whisk that all up and leave it for a while to be with its thoughts. In the meantime peel, core and slice (thickly) two large English Bramley apples. Put these in a wide heavy based pan with about 4 tbspns of butter and the same of sugar (I favour caster but you might want something darker), and a little water. Cook over a low heat until the apples start to break down and it all starts to thicken and caramelise. Avoid stirring as it will make the sugar crystalise and the apples break up - it's nice to have some chunks. Lightly shake the pan instead. You can do all this in advance and then leave it. When ready to make the scones (if you're American you might want to call them pancakes) heat a pan/griddle relatively hot and use a little butter or light oil (less is more here). Then drop in tablespoons of the batter and wait until bubbles form, then flip and leave for about 30 seconds. Then plate up.
