This easy scone recipe is sure to impress even the most experienced scone grandmasters.
Ingredients:
4 cups self raising flour
pinch of salt
250ml pouring cream
375ml can lemonade
milk to brush on the scones
Method:
Preheat the oven to 220c fan forced. Sift the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre, then add the cream and lemonade. Combine the mixture with a butter knife to form a dough.
Using either a marble slab or stainless steel bench that has been dusted in flour to prevent the dough from sticking, place the dough on to the surface and press the dough into a round disc that is approximately 2.5cm thick. Using a pastry cutter that is approximately 6cm in diameter, cut out scones and lay on to a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper.
Brush the top of each scone with milk. Place in a hot oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown.
Serve with your favourite Hand Stirred jam or lemon curd and lashings of double cream.
