As requested, here’s my recipe for the lightest, fluffiest scone ever. Make a double batch as they tend to get snatched up very quickly.
Lemonade Scones
·300g (2 cups) self-raising flour, sifted
·55g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
·125ml (1/2 cup) thick cream
·125ml (1/2 cup) lemonade
·40ml (2 tbs) milk
Method
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Lightly grease a baking tray.
Step 2.
Place the flour, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the cream and lemonade and mix to form a soft dough.
Step 3. Turn out onto a lightly floured workbench and knead lightly until combined. Press the dough with your hands to a thickness of about 2cm. Use a 6cm round cutter to cut out 8 scones, place on baking tray and brush the tops with some milk.
Step 4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.
Enjoy!

My daughter always keeps a can of lemonade so that she can make scones at any time. You will like these and they are very quick.

I've copied this recipe for next time my granddaughter comes, she loves cooking and recently gave me a pot of her strawberry jam, so I'll save it to go with the scones ;D

It's something they can do so well with very little fuss. |

I used Total natural yoghurt because I had no cream. It worked fine, but I overcooked them. In other words, they were not as good as Bernie's. Nevertheless, my friend asked for the recipe which was copied from the forum. I will have another go.
