Cheat's Scones

Scones made with lemonade and cream - not quite as good as the traditional recipe using butter, but if eaten straightaway, not bad either!  These scones are very light and extremely easy to make, but don't keep well.

The quanities below should make about 24 scones, but the rule of thumb is three parts SR flour to one part cream and one part lemonade, so it's easy to reduce / increase quantities.













Ingredients
3 cups self-raising flour
1 cup fizzy lemonade
1 cup pouring cream
Pinch of salt

Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees C.

Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl (a knife works well to get things started). 

When mix begins to come together to form dough, tip out on to a floured surface and knead lightly (you may need to add more flour if it is a bit sticky).

Roll dough out flat, use a scone cutter to cut rounds.  Place on to a baking sheet, bake at 220 degrees C for approximately 15 minutes.
