Scones for me & scones for mum!

With all these auspicious occasions; Australia Day, Easter and now Mothers Day its no wonder we are feeling the pinch in our hip-pocket.
This Mothers Day (May 10th) you don't need to spend hours in the kitchen to delight your mum. Try these deliciously light and fluffy scones in the saute pan. With just 3 simple ingredients your mum will still feel like the queen she is and you wont be left short for the week!


Simple Stupid Scone's

makes: 10-12

cooks in: 12-15 minutes

the ingredients

3 ½ cups (525g) Self raising flour

1 cup (250ml) cream

1 cup (250ml) lemonade

lets have some fun

Pre-heat oven to 220 C for 15 minutes.

Place flour into a medium bowl and make a well in the center. Add cream & lemonade, stir with a spatula until dough just starts to come together (don't over mix). Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface, gently bring together using extra flour if needed. Flatten dough with the palm of your hand until dough is 2-3cm thick. Use a 6.5cm cookie cutter to cut scones, brush with milk. Place scones in saute pan, 1cm apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Serve with your favourite strawberry jam and freshly whipped cream and some nice bubbly for something special.
