Easy Yummy Scones

I made Wifey some yummy scones and Tweeted about it. Some people wanted the recipe – so here it is. These are sooooo easy.

Makes 8

Ingredients

2 cups Self Raising Flour Sifted
1/4 cup Caster Sugar
1/2 cup Sultanas (optional – can use chopped dates instead)
1/2 cup Thickened Cream (35% fat)
1/2 cup Lemonade (for North Americans, I am referring to Sprite, 7 Up or equivalent – we Aussies call it Lemonade)
Pinch Salt

Method

Preheat oven to 210 C (for a fan forced oven)
Line a baking tray with baking paper or grease it
Place flour, sugar, salt and sultanas in a large mixing bowl
Mix the dry ingredients and make a well in the centre
Add cream and lemonade to dry ingredients
Mix to form a soft dough
Turn dough out onto lightly floured benchtop and knead lightly
Press dough with hands to thickness of about 3 cm
Use a 5cm cutter to cut out scones
Place on baking tray
You can brush the scones with milk but this is optional. It makes them brown a little easier. (I don’t do this)
Bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned
Place on cooling tray
Serve warm with jam and cream

If you wanted to, you could use light cream, diet lemonade and all that kind of gear, but made as they are is pretty damn good!!

Enjoy!
