For super-quick scones - which turn out much better than you would expect when you see the kye ingredient, try these:

Lemonade Scones
http://www.geocities.com/pumbo99/recipe4.html

4 cups SR flour
Good pinch salt
300ml bottle of cream
300ml bottle of lemonade.

Sift flour into a large bowl. Mix in the salt. Make a hole in the centre and add the cream and mix with the flour forming a stiff dough . Add the lemonade until a soft dough forms.(You probably won't need all of the 300mls of Lemonade). Turn out on to floured board, gently knead, then pat or roll out to a 2cm thickness(approx). Cut out the scones and brush tops with a little milk. Place on a greased oven tray. Cook in a very hot pre-heated oven (220 deg Celsius) - should be ready in 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about a dozen and a half scones.


My sister & her hubby put the ingredients in in a different order: the cream & lemonade first, then the salt & flour. To start with it just looks like pancake batter and then it fluffs up into scone dough. They are worth trying. Very nice, and usually get a lot of compliments.
