Stovetop Scones Recipes

CREAM GIRDLE SCONES (STOVE-TOP SCONES)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then add the egg.
• Add the milk, then the flour and salt, and mix until it comes together into a dough. (If adding raisins or currants, do so at this time.)
• Turn out onto floured surface and fold over until smooth and divide in two. Roll out each half and cut into 4 quarters.
• Place on preheated griddle set at about medium high to test, (if some flour turns light brown in a few seconds, it is ready). Turn the scones when they have risen, and the bottoms are dark colored.
• Continue to cook until the other side is also well-colored and scone is cooked entirely.
• Remove from heat and cool in a kitchen towel for a few minutes before serving.
• Serve while warm with butter, jam and/or cream and some hot tea.

SCOTCH SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.
• Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

STOVE TOP NO BAKE SCOTCH SCONES

Steps:

• Must have a griddle if want to be stovetop, but may also try 350°F oven (I don't know how long because I always use griddle).
• Sift together dry ingredients then cut in butter or lard. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk.
• Stir until a soft dough mix. Roll out with rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut into squares and then fry on a hot greased griddle as if pancakes, but will be thicker.
• Brown both sides or a oven as mentioned above.
• Serve hot or cold with frosting or powdered sugar. I like butter alone.
