Cooking with kids - 5 cup scones

My big 6 year old girl loves to cook, and particularly enjoys baking with me. This is a great recipe because she can do nearly all of it by herself. It's easy and the scones are light and delicious. One of the best things about it is that you can't really overwork the dough either, perfect for enthusiastic stirrers.

What you need:

3 cups self-raising flour

1 cup lemonade 

1 cup thickened cream

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees (C).

Pop all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Mix them all together.

 

Pop the dough on a baking tray (we floured our baking sheet as my dough was a

little too sticky) and form a rough rectangle shape.

Using a spatula or butterknife, cut the dough into even(ish) squares. 

Place in the hot oven for 30 minutes or until golden on top. 

You'll know they're done if you tap the top and they sound hollow. 

While the scones are baking we like to whip some extra cream with icing-sugar.

Daughter loves the old-school whipping style, shake shake shake!

Mmmm. Golden sconey goodness.

Gobble them up with jam and cream. Nom nom nom.
