Lemonade Scones



In Australia scones are served at functions (tupperware parties, the Queens visit etc.) with cream and jam. These are a little different to the normal plain scones Lemonade Scones are sweet, so are better with only butter or cheese

Ingredients
Hot oven!
3 cups Self Raising Flour
1 cup Cream
1 cup of Lemonade (clear fizzy kind)
Add cream to flour in a large mixing bowl and stir adding lemonade slowly
when mixture gets to hard to stir get your hand in and knead it but only gently
Place mixture on floured board and cut out round circles with a small cutter.

Place on oven tray
Brush tops of scones with a small amount of milk

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a hot oven (250 at least)
Scones should rise and double in size if they don’t and are rock hard the oven wasn’t hot enough
When cool place in airtight container, remember scones will go hard after 24 hours so must be eaten on the same day.

Of course I'm a chucker just chuck it in and I use European measurements as well
but basically a cup is a tea cup the little finger out size tea cup and a hot oven is as high as you can get the thing without it catching fire.
