Lemonade Scones

Who wants to spend their life rubbing butter into flour? That's what traditional scones would have you do. Lemonade scones are far too simple...

4 cups self raising flour

300 ml cream

1 can lemonade

Sift flour into a bowl. Make a well in the middle. Pour in the cream. Pour in about 3/4 of the lemonade. Mix together. Does it resemble dough? If yes, then turn out onto a floured board. If no, then add a bit more lemonade until it does. Sort of pat the dough out and cut the scones.

Now the ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL information for scone making is this .... always cut your scones as high as you want them to finish. If they rise a bit in the oven - great. If not then you have perfect scones anyway. This goes for all scones, even the ones without lemonade.

For savoury scones, use soda water instead of lemonade. Add grated cheese, bacon bits, chives or other yummy things.
