Scones

Scones - Makes 12

* 4 cups (500g) of Self Raising flour
* 1 & Qtr Cups (300ml) Cream
* 1 Cup (250ml) Lemonade (sprite for those in the USA)

Note: Light cream and diet lemonade (sprite) works.

Preheat the oven to 220C/440F. Line a baking tray with baking/parchment paper. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre, and pour in the cream and lemonade. Mix to make a dough, careful not to over beat. Roll the dough out and cut with a cold knife or scone cutter. Arrange closely together on the baking tray and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Optional: You can swap the lemonade for soda water, ginger ale, even creaming soda for a different taste. Try ginger ale and dates...mmmmmmm! Yum scrum.

Note: Do not overwork the dough, it will make the scones rock hard, if need be you can brush the tops with a bit of milk for a nice golden finish but you really don't need to, they are perfect just the way they are....just like you!

Tip from one of the 4I Kids Liam who prefers savoury. Swap the lemonade for Soda Water and add a little tasty cheese. Finish on the top with a little parmesan.

Serving suggestion: With a little butter or jam and cream. You can also go for "thunder and lighting" if you dare, clotted cream and golden syrup.
