Ingredients

  • 110g self-raising flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 25g caster sugar

  • pinch of salt

  • 1 egg

  • 110ml milk

  • 1 drop of sunflower oil, for greasing

  • 2 tbsp chopped dill

  • 8 slices of smoked salmon

  • crème fraîche

  • dill sprigs

  • 28cm (11in) frying pan

Method

  1. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the sugar and salt and stir to mix.

  2. Make a well in the centre, crack in the egg and whisk, gradually drawing in the flour from the edge.

  3. Add the milk gradually, whisking all the time, to form a smooth batter.

  4. Lightly grease a frying pan and warm it over a moderate heat.

  5. Drop 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, keeping well apart so they don’t stick together.

  6. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and begin to burst and the drop scones are golden underneath, then flip them over and cook on the other side for a minute or until golden on this side as well.

  7. Remove from the pan and serve warm on a hot plate with a ruffle of thin slices of smoked salmon, a dollop of crème fraîche and a few sprigs of dill.
