Christmas Pudding Drop Scones

By OcadoLifePublished on 19 April 2022If you find yourself with leftover Christmas pud, these Christmas Pudding Drop Scones by Lisa Faulkner are the perfect way to use it up! Kids sometimes find Christmas pudding a bit rich, so these scones are the ideal treat, as they give a flavour of the pud but in a soft pancake-like form. They are super-quick to rustle up and ideal served with ice cream – or brandy cream for grown-ups, if they fancy it.

Ingredients

  • 100 g of leftover christmas pudding (or fruit cake), crumbled
  • 250 g of self-raising flour
  • 0.25 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
  • 60 g of caster sugar
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • 220 ml of semi-skimmed milk
  • 30 g of unsalted butter

Method

  • Step 1

    Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda together into a medium bowl. Stir in the sugar, then make a well in the centre of the mixture. In a jug, whisk the egg and milk together, then slowly beat into the dry mix to create a smooth, thick batter. Set aside to rest for 15 mins.

  • Step 2

    Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Coat with the butter. Drop 6 individual, spaced out tbsp of the batter into the pan, then sprinkle a third of the Christmas pudding over the top. Cook for 2 mins, until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, then flip and cook for 1 min or so, before removing them from the pan.

  • Step 3

    Repeat the process with two more batches of 6, rubbing the pan with more butter before each. Serve with your choice of toppings.
