Drop Scones

I dont know why these are called Drop Sones unless its because you drop the mixture from the spoon into the pan.  Let the kids have a go at this one, its so easy. You can make them in a flash especially if you have unexpected guests. I first made these as a little girl growing up on a farm in the mid 50's and have been making them ever since. Mum was always so busy helping Dad on the farm that the 4 girls were always allowed to do the baking on a weekend, something we relished ( more than homework I must admit)
