Anyway Tuesday is pancake day (or Shrove Tuesday) , nothing else will do except proper thin pancakes about the diameter of a plate. Lemon and sugar with mine please

They're drop scones to me, but I keep seeing packets of them, called Pancakes! Puzzles me why they sell them when it takes as long to toast the things as it does to make them fresh.

Full page ad by Asda in today's Sunday Telegraph Stella magazine for "Scotch Pancakes" - all 9 flavours apparently.
May I make this clear
1) there is nothing "Scotch" about them under this designation
2) They. are. not. pancakes
They are drop scones - also known as girdle scones.
Not pancakes.
Got it?
As such they may well be Scottish, but I imagine other areas such as Yorkshire or Wales can lay claim to a similar baked good.

Rant over (just so long as you remember) smile
