Lemonade scones

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of lemonade (not flat)
• 1 cup of cream
• 3 cups self-raising flour
• Handful of sultanas (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to very hot 220°C.

Mix flour, a few sultanas if used, cream and lemonade. Mixture will be soft

Turn onto a lightly floured board. Pat down, do not roll. Use a round cookie cutter to cut scones.

Brush tops with milk or a lightly beaten egg.

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until tops are golden

Notes:

• When you turn the mixture out onto the kitchen bench, dust it again with more flour so it isn’t too sticky to cut up. This will allow you to get a lovely ‘scone’ shape.
• I prefer using egg to brush pastries as this makes them more golden after cooking.
• According to my husband, my ‘handful’ of sultanas was not enough, so if you’ve got a family keen on sultanas, add a 1/3 cup of sultanas instead!
• These scones are wicked straight out of the oven with a slathering of butter (yum!).
