Griddle cakes, or Scotch pancakes are easy to make and are a wonderful addition to any teatime table or for something different for breakfast. I make mine on a traditional griddle, but any heavy based frying pan would be suitable. Serve these little pancake treats with butter and a drizzle of heather honey. Makes 12.
Ingredients
- 225g/8 ozs self raising flour
- Pinch of salt
- 50g/2 ozs caster sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten with enough milk to make 300ml/1/2 pint
- Butter, to serve
- Heather honey, to serve

Directions
Step 1 | Lightly grease a griddle (Girdle) with oil (not butter, as it will burn) then place on the hob to heat. |
Step 2 | Meanwhile, sift together the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate bowl then pour the milk mixture into the flour. Whisk together to a smooth batter then test the griddle. Place a teaspoon of batter on the pan and if it sizzles and cooks in less than a minute the griddle is ready to use. |
Step 3 | Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the griddle, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon. Allow the batter to cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface (about 3 to 4 minutes) then flip the pancake over using a palette knife. Continue cooking until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. |
Step 4 | Keep the pancakes warm and then serve with butter and heather honey. |
