Lemonade Scones

[Rosie's Mummy]

I had to share this with you all, its such an unusual recipe that I got from a friend when I lived in Australia. I love making them even thought they freak me out as I always think Ive got it wrong! All I can say is dont worry if the mix seems way too loose, you can add a little more flour if its very wet but its fine really..go with me on this!

You will need:

4 heaped cups of Self Raising flour
300mls Lemonade
300mls Whipping Cream (unwhipped!)

Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix together, turn out onto a floured surface and dust the top with flour. Pat down gently and cut to size, bake at 180 degrees for around 10-15 mins depending on fan etc.

Its a weird recipe, not very sweet so you can get away with more jam!

They are delicious when they are very fresh, they dont keep that long though so good excuse to scoff the lot!

[Rosie's Mummy]

Just dont freak out at how wet the mix is..it does work I swear; just pat the dough gently down on a floured surface and dust the top with flour then cut - let me know how you go with this eh? xx
