My husband the lumberjack has been very busy this weekend chopping wood getting ready for the chilly nights, I thought I had better join in and bake...
A very easy scone recipe I found in my travels. It seriously takes all of 5 mins to prepare.
Set your oven to about 200.C
3 cups SR Flour
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup whole cream
1 cup lemonade
Sift the flour and sugar into a larger mixing bowl
Mix the lemonade and cream together in a jug.
Add the wet mixture to the dry.
Now this is the secret......use a butter knife and in a slicing motion gently mix it all together till just combined.
Use a baking tray and line with non-stick baking paper, flour the surface a little and tip out the mixture, flour your hands and then gently push from the sides of the mixture and lightly from the top till you achieve a squarish shape.
Bake for about 12-15 mins. You are looking for a light brown top and fluffy centre. Dont overcook.
This will cook in a rustic looking slab, then you can cut a scone from it when its cooked. Great to put on the table with a pot of freshly brewed loose leaf tea, jam and bowl of thickened whipped cream. Very nanna!
You can use soda water too. Doesn't need to chilled. This will cut back on the sugar content.
Can freeze cooked scones.Great for unexpected guests, just pop into the microwave.
