Get ready for a real breakfast!\u00a0Also known as drop scones in the UK, this Scottish pancake recipe makes the most delicious pancakes.\u00a0They are a little smaller and thicker than American pancakes and are also made slightly differently.\u00a0So why are they called Queen Elizabeth pancakes?\u00a0Well, it is said that the recipe is actually the Queen’s personal \u201cgota bun\u201d recipe.\u00a0It’s the same recipe he used when he hosted President Dwight Eisenhower at Balmoral Castle in 1959. The pancakes were so delicious that he requested the recipe during his stay!\u00a0The recipe includes the traditional way ingredients were measured (using teacups), but we made it a little easier by including exact measurements.
Tips
A \u201cteacup\u201d measurement is approximately 180ml, which is \u00be of a cup!\u00a0If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead.
Unlike traditional pancakes, the mixture must be beaten very well before using.
The mixture should not sit for long before cooking.
Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat.\u00a0Too hot and the pancakes will burn before the center is cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you use a nonstick pan, you’ll need to make sure it’s properly greased to prevent sticking. You can use butter or coconut oil.
If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the dough.
Cooked pancakes can also be frozen. Cool them first, pack them in an airtight container, and freeze them for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
How to Store Queen Pancakes
The batter should be used immediately. Cooked pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, in an airtight container. To reheat the pancakes, place them on a baking sheet and heat to 200\u00b0F.
Can I do it in advance?
Once the batter is mixed, the pancakes need to be cooked immediately, so this recipe is not ideal for making ahead.
What to Serve with Queen’s Pancakes
These Scottish pancakes are best served with honey, golden syrup, butter, jam and a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Add fresh fruit for some color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
