Lemonade Scones:

2 cups and 2 tablespoons of S.R. Flour

2/3 of a cup of lemonade

2/3 of a cup of cream

Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Combine the lemonade and cream in a medium bowl. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour. Using a knife, mix until just combined (over mixing will result in tough scones). Tip onto floured bench and knead very lightly. Pat dough to 3.5cm thick rectangle and cut into 5cm squares using a floured knife. Place close together on a floured baking tray. Cook in hot oven (205°C fan-forced, 215°C conventional) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Enjoy hot from the oven with butter and jam, or whipped cream if preferred (and if you didn’t use the last of it in the scone mixture, like I did.) Finally… enjoy playing ladies! Bring out the table cloth, the lace doilies and the dainty bone china teacups. Don’t forget to hold your little finger right!
