Lemonade Scones.
Permalink  

This recipe is from the About Seniors Newsletter. 

Ingredients:-  3 cups SR Flour.
                       1 cup Cream.
                       1 cup Lemonade.


Method:-         Preheat oven to 200 degrees. 
                       Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a knife.
                       When the dough is ready the bowl will look clean and you will have a ball of very soft dough.
                       Gently flatten on a board and cut into suitable sizes.
                       Put onto a floured baking tray and paint tops with milk and egg wash.
                       Place in pre-heated oven for 15 mins.
                       Serve with butter or cream and home made fruit jam.  Just delicious.

Talk about good timing. I haven't made the scones myself yet, but was out at the Gemfields at the week-end, and paid Mike and Judy a visit while there. Guess what Judy was cooking when I rang to see if they were up for company.
They were delicious. I really will have to start baking again.
Cheers,
xina.

I have made these scones and they are mind blowing. I tried adding a cup of mashed pumpkin and that was good but for savory just mix in a decent spoon full of chopped chives and sprinkle the tops with a sharp cheadar, they beat any of the commercial products hands down.

Hah! I did the same thing, dough all over the joint, mix was too wet, took me ages to clean up, once I figured in the flour bit it was a peice of cake, or should I say scones

Usually if a recipe requires Thickened Cream, it says so.  I would say no in this case,

Cheers,

They work just as well with thickened cream smile
You can also use orange fanta or ginger beer instead of lemonade biggrin

The Ginger Ale sounds interesting.  I'm imagining them with real pieces of Ginger too.

Yummy!!!

Cheers,
Sheba.

Now that sounds interesting FF.  Might give it a go.  I'll get back to you on the results.  If nothing else my little grandsons would love them cause they have choc chips.  Anything with choc chips is at the top of their list.

I have found the best scone recipe, perhaps it is already on here.

About a cup of SR flour

Same amount of powdered Pancake mix (cheap stuff)

Mix dry ingredients together then add Lemonade to make a dough

Flatten out and cut into squares and cook in a metal dish on a trivet with double foil under that in the Weber Q until just brown, around 20 mins, unbelievably simple and the best scones that I have tried for a long time

Yes, lemonade scones are the best. And they stay so fresh too. (That's if they don't all go in one session!)
