Drop scones
When President Eisenhower visited the Queen at Balmoral in 1960, he was so impressed with her “homemade” drop scones that he asked for the recipe. Weeks later, Her Majesty sent the US President some neatly-typed instructions - and while we can’t imagine the Queen beating eggs in the Buckingham Palace kitchens, this recipe is very much her own.
Ingredients:
4 cups flour
4 tbsp caster sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 tsp bicarbonate soda
3 tsp cream of tartar
2 tbsp melted butter
Method: Beat eggs, sugar and about half the milk together, add flour, and mix well together, adding remainder of milk as required, also bicarbonate and cream of tartar. Fold in the melted butter. Enough for 16 people. (via Queen’s Diamond Jubilee: Royal recipes - Telegraph)
