Granny Leas Griddle Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the flour and salt together and cut in butter with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
• Stir in the currants and the nutmeg, then form a well in the middle.
• Beat together the eggs and milk and pour into the well.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix the egg mixture into the flour, stirring from the center and drawing the flour in from the sides to form a smooth thick batter.
• Heat a heavy based frying pan or griddle to med heat and grease with oil.
• Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto pan and cook 2-3 mins or until the bases are set and have turned golden brown.
• Turn scones over and cook the other side in the same way.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and butter in a small bowl with a fork, then add to dry ingredients and stir just until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half and knead each half 3 or 4 times. Pat each half into a 6-inch round (1/2 inch thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.
• Heat griddle over low heat until hot. Working in 2 batches if griddle is small, lightly dust both sides of each scone with flour, shaking off excess, and cook scones over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Increase heat to moderately low and cook until scones are puffed and undersides are golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Turn scones over and cook until golden brown and cooked through (watch scones closely and adjust heat as needed so they cook through but do not burn), 7 to 8 minutes (cut one scone open to check for doneness).
• Transfer to a rack and cool to warm, 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, sugar, and salt.
• With a pastry blender cut in the butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add buttermilk and egg to above and mix lightly till mixtures forms a soft dough.
• Heat griddle with a tad of shortening.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons to make 3 or 4 scones; with the back of a spoon, spread dough into a flattened 3" round (to be repeated when these are done).
• Cook till golden brown on remaining side and center seems firm when gently pressed.
• Remove and keep warm till all the scones are baked.
• Serve warm with butter and jam or lemon curd.
• ORIGINALLY: An ungreased griddle was used, however, a lightly greased one is suggested unless you have a well-seasoned one.

Steps:

• Heat flat cast iron pan on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot. (To test, sprinkle with a little flour; if it browns in 10 to 15 seconds, the pan is hot enough.).
• Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, stir flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; with fingertips, rub in shortening or lard until crumbly.
• Whisk egg with 1 cup of the milk.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients; pour in the liquid. With wooden spoon, stir to make soft, but not sticky dough, adding more milk as needed.
• Turn out onto floured board, knead 3 or 4 times. Pat or roll to no more than 1/4 - 1/2 inch.
• With a sharp knife, cut into small triangles.
• Place a few at a time on pan; cook, rotating scones occasionally for 5 to 6 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Cut in the shortening with a fork, pastry blender, or by pinching between your fingers. Make a well in the center, and pour in the corn syrup and buttermilk. Stir with a sturdy spoon to form a soft dough. Divide the dough in half, and pat out into 3/4 inch thick circles on a floured surface. Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat, and grease lightly with cooking spray or oil. Cook scones on each side, then stand them on edge, and cook all three edges. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Mix together eggs and milk.
• Cut margarine into dry ingredients.
• Add wet ingredients, adding more milk if needed to make a stiff dough.
• Mix well with hands.
• Divide dough in half.
• On well-floured board, roll each half into a circle about 8-inches in diameter. Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
• Place into frying pan (set at 275 degrees if it's electric or on low to medium heat if it's on the range), cover with lid, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and bake about 5 minutes more.
• Enjoy with butter and jam or slice of cheddar cheese.
