Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced.
2.	Combine flour and cream in a bowl, mix well using a wooden spoon or spatula. It will seem crumbly.
3.	Gradually add the lemonade and stir with a knife until just combined. Don't overmix! It should resemble a dough.
4.	Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
5.	Roll out to 2cm-thick. Use a 4cm round cutter to cut out scones. Press scraps together and reroll to cut more scones.
6.	Place scones, just touching, in a baking dish lined with baking paper.
7.	Brush tops with a little extra cream and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped on top.
