1. Cut half of the strawberries into slices and set aside. Transfer the remaining strawberries to
a jug and using a handheld blender, blend until you have a puree. Stir in icing sugar to taste
then sieve to remove the pips and set aside.
2. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt and sugar and make a well in the centre. Mix together
the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla then slowly add this to the well in the bowl, gradually
whisking the flour into the milk mixture to form a smooth slightly thick batter.
3. Using the griddle fitted with the griddle plates, preheat the griddle to 220c. Open the griddle
to the upright position and then using the upper plate angle button, open griddle out
completely flat.
4. Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the preheated griddle plates, carefully spreading each
out into a round measuring approx 10cm and cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles appear
on the top surface of the drop scones. Then flip over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until
golden.
5. Carefully remove the drop scones from the griddle and keep warm in a clean serviette or tea
towel whilst cooking the remaining batter to make 8 drop scones.
