Scone but not forgotten

I love when I come across a recipe that is simple but produces great results. I was given the recipe with great recommendations years ago and I have always meant to try it out. Somehow the recipe got put aside but it was always there in the back of my mind. Recently I had some lemonade I wanted to use up and so I searched out the lemonade scones recipe.
These scones taste wonderful and they only took a few minutes to make and then 20 minutes in the oven. I think they would be a great thing to make with kids as there is nothing that can really go wrong. You mix everything in the one bowl, knead a little, cut them up and pop them in the oven.
I wanted to use up some of the strawberries I bought at the market so I heated up a punnet of strawberries with a cup of sugar for about 10/15 mins. This produced a great jam to have with the scones.
I like these best when they were just out of the oven and piping how. I shared my scones with my workmates but I reckon they would freeze pretty well too.
Lemonade scones
1 cup of lemonade
1 cup of cream
3 cups of self-raising flour
Preheat oven to very hot 220C.
Add lemonade and cream to flour, mix to form soft dough, then place mixture on floured surface.
Knead dough to a 2 cm thickness and cut with a floured cutter.
Place close together on tray, brush with whisked egg and bake for 10 - 15 minutes.

Wow, lemonade scones, how unusual. I'd never have thought of it!! Now head over to my site and pick up your award!!
Newbie visiting from keynoter - congratulations on your award.
I'm very tempted to make those, I can almost smell them! Perhaps I'm just hungry at lunch time.
Best wishes
Mm! What kind of lemonade? Water, lemon juice, sugar kind?
Wonderful! You know, living in North America, nobody understands what a true, British scone really is. The kind you have at 4 on a Sunday afternoon with real cream and hot tea. My husband was craving just such a thing this Sunday afternoon and I had a wonderful time whipping up a batch, which I still haven't put onto my blog, but I just loved seeing your post and it made me all warm and fuzzy inside knowing someone else had scones recently!
Keynoter, thank you very much for the award and the kind words.
mcewen, they are delicious and great for a lunchtime treat.
jothemama, no not the fancy kind just the fizzy kind you get at the supermarket.
Robyn, there is nothing nicer than devonshire tea
I love scones made with lemonade, they are the best :) Yummy Yummy!
Good golly, Miss Molly, I'm giving it a go today. Less work with the maximum of result is my kind of recipe.
