Banana and sultana drop scones

My inlaws went out for a cream tea this afternoon and I had sudden scone-envy. It was also 20mins before tea-time (we had a Sunday roast at lunch), so I had to act fast. With some "past their best" bananas in the fridge I settled on banana drop scones. 

Ingredients:

175g self raising flour
1tsp baking powder
25g caster sugar
50g sultanas
2 over ripe bananas
1 egg
150ml milk
Butter for frying

1. Weigh out dry ingredients. Mix in a bowl and stand to one side. 
2. Mash banana, add egg and milk.
3. Heat a heavy based frying pan or griddle on a medium heat. Add a knob of butter.
4. Slowly stir wet ingredients into dry ones until they are well mixed into a thick "dropping" consistency. 
5. Drop spoonfuls of the mix onto hot pan and they will flatten and rise to become stodgy little discs of banan-y scone/pancake goodness.
6. Serve hot or cold with butter. Don't expect to have any for tomorrow.
