Reece Hignell’s Scone Recipe: 

Ingredients: 

3 cups self raising flour
1 cup fresh good quality cream
1 cup lemonade
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method:

Preheat oven to 200C

Sift self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl mix together the cream, lemonade and vanilla essence then, pour over the sifted flour. Using a butter knife, mix the ingredients until the scone dough comes together then turn out on to a lightly floured workbench then very lightly knead the dough for about 2/3 turns or until it just comes together.

Roll dough into a large 3cm thick round then using a 5cm ring cutter, cut out scones (should make approximately 10 to 12 scones).

Place scones onto a baking tray just touching on each side then into the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.

Serve with the best quality cream and some of your favourite jam.
