Lemonade scones

I think I might be breaking my scone challenged tradition! Following on from The Baker Man's scones, I had success today with a really easy recipe for lemonade scones from the Food in a Minute website. With just four or five ingredients and the same number of simple steps, even I could manage to make them work!

Lemonade scones

Ingredients

• 4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
• pinch of salt
• 300 ml cream
• 300 ml lemonade or soda water
• 1/2 cup sultanas (optional)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well. Pour the cream and lemonade or soda water into the dry ingredients and mix together to form a soft dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured bench. Dust lightly with flour and gently roll out into a rectangle. Cup or shape into approximately 12 pieces and lift each onto the baking tray.
4. Bake in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool inside a clean tea towel to help keep their freshness.
