Lemonade Scones
Image via Wikipedia
I HATE making scones.
Really, I SUCK at it.
They’re generally too dry and crumbly.
I’m always afraid to “overwork” them and then don’t get them properly mixed.
It’s an easy fix really.
I just don’t make them.
No problem!
However, Lleyton, having just started high school, has been doing Home Ec at school.
And they’ve been making scones.
They started out with a basic recipe and then they were asked to bring in their own recipe.
So we looked up Lemonade Scones on the internet.
I’ve heard they are pretty much “fool proof” and I knew the concept would appeal to 13 year old boys.
Which it did!
Lleyton made them at school and was quite impressed with the outcome. So, I decided to make them for shearing this year.
They were really simple and quick to make and seemed to go down well with the shearers and shed-hands (not to mention the “boss”).
There are many, many different recipes on the internet but this is the one I used:
LEMONADE SCONES
250ml cream
375ml lemonade
4 cups SR Flour
1/4 tsp salt
Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Add cream and lemonade and mix. Pat mixture onto a floured board (it’s quite a moist recipe so you don’t roll it out). Cut with scone cutter and place close together on a tray. Brush tops with egg or milk. Bake 15 minutes in a 220C oven. Top with jam and cream or lots of yummy butter!!!!

ahhh they worked for you! Good stuff
Do you know that I’ve used this very same recipe a few times and mine always come out like rocks!
My hubby Love Chunks, on the other hand, will get up and decide that he feels like some scones, whip some up without following a recipe and they’re always fluffy, fresh and delicious. I think it’s always going to be my lot to enjoy his cooking and clean up afterwards.
Sounds good.. i hear they really work..however i use another failproof recipe that has been handed down generations but must try your recipe out one of these days!!
PS the ads on the RH side of your blog now only appear to me when i want to comment .. ! Strange hey ?
Kath - sounds like a good arrangement to me! Pity he couldn’t clean up too though! LOL
Lynette - glad you can at least comment!
I made these last year from a recipe I got from Kim at Frog ponds Rock, they were great!
Scones should only be brushed with milk. Any sweet baked goods, pastries, scones etc, should be brushed with milk.
Egg is for savoury baked goods, such as pasties, meat pies.
Yum. I think Annie would really enjoy making those too. Might pick up the ingredients for an after school baking session
Made all my men happy with surprising them with hot scones, homemade jam and cream for morning tea yesterday .. yummo….. and there were even some left for breaky this morning.. i love day old scones with a layer of butter and a cup of hot tea for breaky…. !!
