Thanks ladies, I'll be waiting with flour in hand !
I use this recipe:
It's from Masterchef believe it or not, and it is awesome. I've even omitted the lemon and dates and it is fantastic. And no messy rubbing butter or anything.:

Save to Cookbook
Method
Makes 12
1. Preheat oven 200°C fan forced. Line large flat oven tray with baking paper.
2. Whisk 150ml milk, cream and egg together until well combined. Combine flour, sugar, dates and lemon rind in a large bowl. Add milk mixture and stir gently to a soft dough, adding remaining milk if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough comes together.
3. Press dough out to 2cm-thick. Cut scones from dough and place onto tray flat-side up. Press dough together gently and repeat using the remaining dough. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden and well risen. Serve hot with jam and cream.
This is my Neverfail scone recipe which I have been making for years.
3 cups SR flour
1tb melted butter
1tb icing sugar
3/4-1 cup milk ( I usually use nearly a whole cup)
Method
Add melted butter to milk, pour over flour and sugar. Mix together then press out onto a floured board. I just push mine around to get the desired thickness. Cut into scone shapes bake in mod oven for 10- 15 mins.
I sometimes brush mine with milk before cooking too.
google 'Lady Flo Pumpkin Scones' and go to the abc link (should be the first one). They are great, and so easy! DD loves them
I make lemonade scones. They are awesome!
I don't 'play' with the mix more than I have to also, which makes fluffier scones.
325g self-raising flour
2/3 cup cold lemonade
2/3 cup thickened cream
Basically just add all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix with a knife. When the mix is all combined, tip it onto a lightly floured bench and cut with a floured cutter or cup.
I also double the mixture as my family loves them.
How many do these amounts make??:
Another tip is to make sure your put the scones close together so they rise up not out.
I make the lemonade scones too. So simple!
Rouge- Will have to give your recipe a try, they sounds yummo!
Now, I know it's not a recipe but I have to plug the CWA's scone packet mix! They make divine scones!!!
Ps. M2R- What time do you want us? :lol:
Depends on how big you want them. It makes about 6-8 fairly big ones.:
S.R. Flour - 2 cups
Salt - very small pinch
Butter - 2 table spoons
Milk - roughly 1 cup.
Rub butter into flour and salt, slowly add milk until a dough forms, roll out, cut, bake.
makes about 15 or so :)

:yeahthat: I found the recipe on Taste website.:
I made mini ones for a High Tea I had with the girls.
I thought I'd add my favourite recipe, it's from the NZ Edmonds Cookbook
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
3 cups Edmonds standard plain flour
6 teaspoons Edmonds baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
75g butter
1 - 1 1½ cups milk, approximately (I tend to only need a cup of milk)
extra milk for glazing
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 220oC. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cut butter in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add 1 cup milk and mix quickly with a knife to a soft dough, adding more milk if needed. Knead a few times.
3. Lightly dust an oven tray with flour. Press scone mix out on floured bench or tray, cut into 12 even-sized pieces. Place on oven tray, brush tops with milk and place in top half of oven to bake
4. Bake scones for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Once golden brown with crisp crusts, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cooling on a rack will give you crisp crusts, while covering them with a clean tea towel will give a soft scone.
