Welsh Truffles

Author Notes

My mother at chance of invent these for my sister and I after we had been diminutive women. They’re love scones but cooked in a frying pan or griddle. I exploit a cast-iron pan to invent mine; create a test cake first to search out out the stage of heat required to bake your diminutive truffles. They’re prefect served warm, with butter or jam, straight from the frying pan. —Donna

In Wales they’re Welsh Truffles, in diverse parts of the UK they’re Singin’ Hinnies or griddle scones — but all of them are the stylish-or-backyard, a diminutive much less-levened precursor to the scone. Whether or no longer eaten with afternoon tea, as a leisurely supper, round a fire while camping, or with butter and jam for breakfast, this griddle scone variant is adaptable, tasty and oh-so-fair. Stove-high cooked on a griddle or skillet as an different of oven-baked, it’s a mountainous chance for the ovenless crowd and makes use of overall ingredients that you simply may possibly possibly possibly get in most kitchens. —Ksb
