Crossword Genius

Drop scone naughty Edgar licked (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

griddlecake

'drop scone' is the definition.
('griddlecake' can be a synonym of 'drop scone')

'naughty edgar licked' is the wordplay.
'naughty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'edgar'+'licked'='edgarlicked'
'edgarlicked' is an anagram of 'GRIDDLECAKE'.

(Another definition for griddlecake that I've seen is " Drop scone".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
