griddle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what plays a part in making one drop scones?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'good and puzzling question' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'puzzling question' becomes 'riddle' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'riddle'='GRIDDLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for griddle that I've seen before include "Heated metal cooking surface" , "Cook" , "Iron plate for cooking on" , "Circular iron plate used for baking" , "Is it a hot surface" .)
