I love scones, my late m.i.l used to make the best ones. I've tried prolly 10 or 15 times over the years and had fails. Big fails. My wife doesn't cook either so no show there. Then yesterday a friend sent me a link from a 92 yo woman from cwa in murica I think? 3 things, I thought I cant go wrong. These were the best fluffier scones I've ever had. Wife had two just out of the oven.
The secret the lady said was sifting 5 cups of flour three times, make a well in centre, pour in about 200ml cream, cut it in with a knife, then add lemonade to get a nice sticky mix. I added cheese grated, cheddar. Cut into squares, put into hot oven 220 c for 10 mins, I left it in an extra 2 mins.
Cut in half , liberal amount of butter, home made raspberry jam, squirt of cream. 10/10
I did a half mix because I was only trying it and didn't want to waste flour. There's only 5 left.
