    THis is a never fail scone recipe, and well loved whenever I pull it out.
    4 cups selfraising flour. 3ooml cream 300mls milk. Mix it together until it forms a dough, roll out cut and brush tops with a little milk, bake on mod/hot oven until golden brown! THe end! So simple So fluffy SO yummy!!!

    I made pumpkin scones the other day, really yum! Just google "Lady Flo Pumpkin Scones" and go to the ABC's link (the recipe is apparently famous, and is Lady Florence Bjelke-Petersen's).

    My best tip for no-fail scones, is to use FRESH flour every time. Go to the supermarket and dig into the back of the shelves to find the freshest possible flour, they'll always rise Good luck!

    Friend gave me this one

    his very quick and easy recipe produces lovely light scones. They are best served hot from the oven.

    Makes about 12-14 scones.

    We use a 20ml tablespoon and 250ml measuring cup for all of our recipes.

    325g (2 cups + 2 tablespoons) self-raising flour
    167ml (2/3 cup) cold lemonade (use the carbonated type)
    167ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream (35 percent fat)

    Preheat oven to 225 degrees Celsius (205 degrees Celsius fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

    Sift flour into a large bowl. Combine lemonade and cream in a medium bowl. Add lemonade and cream mixture to flour and gently fold ingredients together until just combined (don't over mix the dough as this will produce tough scones). The dough should be fairly soft and sticky.

    I use the same recipe as Feeb. Actually, we have made these the last 2 days. I also like to use a little bit of baking powder just to give them some extra rise. My best tip is to not over mix or over handle the mixture. I mix with a butter knife and I don't roll the dough out, I just put it on the bench and lightly flatten it out with my hands. I have found doing it this way makes extra light & fluffy scones every time.
