If 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.Time and servings

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.
