"My mother used to make these for my sister and I when we were little girls. They are like scones but cooked in a frying pan or griddle. I use a cast iron pan to make mine; do a test cake first to determine the level of heat required to bake your little cakes. They are prefect served warm, with butter or jam, straight from the frying pan...."
