Lemonade Scones

Aim: To make scones that are tasty, light, fluffy and easy.

Hypothesis: These scones will be the best you've ever made.

Equipment:

• 4 cups of white flour
• 4 tspn baking powder
• 1/2 tspn salt
• 300 mL cream or coconut cream or melted butter or yoghurt or fatty liquid of choice. (I've had the best results with coconut cream - the coconut flavour does not come into the scones.)
• 300 mL carbonated drink of your choice. (I tried fanta once, results didn't taste like oranges though.)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.
2. Line a baking tray with baking paper - easier clean up.
3. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
4. Add cream and then lemonade.
5. Stir until you get a doughy mess - just enough to mix the flour and liquid together, too much and your scones will be rubbery.
6. Tip the scone mixture onto the baking paper and then cover it with a dusting of flour and a sheet of plastic-cling-film, brand of your choice. You have to use the flour dusting or the cling film will stick to the dough. (Ask me how I know this...)
7. Press the mixture into the shape of a large rectangle.
8. Remove the cling-film and cut the dough into squares.
9. Put the tray in the oven and cook for 10-15 mins - until fork comes out clean.
10. Serve with jam and whipped cream.

Results: Perfect every time!!

Conclusion: These are the best scones I have ever made.
