Here I present to you my Grandmother’s Lemonade Scones, as guest-blogged by Frogpondsrock (Mum).
I have been wanting to share some of my grandmother’s recipes for a while now. Soooo seeing as it is getting close to Christmas and because I am a generous type of person I am willing to share the family jewels. and really some of the recipes that I have are little gems.. So thanks to NAN tadaaa
Lemonade Scones…
3 cups of self raising flour.
1 teaspoon baking powder
1cup of thickened cream
1cup of lemonade.
Preheat oven to 230C (450F)
Using a knife, mix together into a dough. Carefully roll or pat out onto a floured bench and cut into rounds with a scone cutter. Place onto a greased and floured oven tray and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
These scones are really light and taste absolutely divine..
the trick with scones is not to handle the dough too much or it will toughen up.
quick hands make light scones…
(Note from Veronica. I edited this post a little to make the method a little more clear. Mum is a great writer, but she tends towards extreme minimalism. Or as I call it, leaving out huge chunks of relevant stuff ism.)

frogpondsrock’s last blog post..Mystery revealed..
Question – What exactly constitutes lemonade in Australia? (In Canada and the US, it’s usually fresh squeezed lemon juice, sugar and water – or made from a concentrate like orange juice, but in England it’s usually a bottled carbonated beverage) I’m sure that either would work, but just wondering….

Badness: Lemonade here is the bottled carbonated drink. The bubbles in the lemonade have a lot to do with the lightness.
In the US and Canada I’m assuming it would be lemon soda or something like that? Not the yellow kind though, the clear one.
