I have just been back home in NZ, and my niece Mati has taught me how to make scones her way. I won't say they are fail proof - I managed to fail a batch last Saturday morning (made the mix a bit wet and they were tasty and moist but a bit in the flat side) - but they are certainly easy and once you get the hang of the consistency to achieve before you bake them, they can beome a quick and easy fresh baking response to unexpected visitors, or bored kids on a wet day....
Mati's Scones
400 grams self-raising flour
300ml cream
300ml lemonade
Mix it together. Tip it onto a well greased baking tray (or baking sheet), pat it into shape and run a knife through it where you want it divided into scones. Bake 20 minutes of so in an oven pre-heated to 180 degrees C.
If you are wondering about the round baking dish - it happens to be the 'plastic' dish that some of those oven-ready TV dinners come in (you know the peel off the lid and put it in the oven kind). They make quite good non-stick baking dishes, keeping the wet scone mix in shape; but it did mean we had triangular scones... They taste just the same.
