Cream Girdle Scones (Stove-Top Scones)
Cream Girdle Scones, cooked on a stove-top griddle, are soft, lightly sweetened scones made from self-rising flour, butter, egg, and milk, sometimes with raisins. These scones are gently cooked on each side until golden brown and tender, offering a quick alternative to oven-baked scones with a tender crumb and slightly crisped exterior.

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups to 2 cups self-rising flour sifted (or all-purpose flour with 2 tsp baking powder)
- ⅛ cup sugar
- 1 oz butter
- ½ cup milk (I used buttermilk)
- 1 egg
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ cup raisins or currants, optional
Instructions
- 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 four 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.

Notes
- These scones freeze well; prepare extra and freeze either raw or fully cooked.
- Serve warm with butter, jam, and cream for a classic tea accompaniment.
- Use a properly heated griddle to ensure the scones brown evenly without burning.
