The Easiest and Best Scone Recipe Ever



This easy scone recipe only requires 3 ingredients; self raising flour, cream and lemonade – that’s it! Better still, these scones are so good that you will never make scones the hard way again


Serves: Makes one large scone disc. You can cut it into as many as you wish or make individual scones with a cutter. 


Ingredients


3 cups (450g) of self raising flour sifted

1 cup of thickened cream / I use canned on the boat

1 cup of lemonade (l use soda stream)


2 tbs of milk 


Let’s get Cooking 


Preheat oven to 200 °C 

Place flour in a large mixing bowl.

Add cream and lemonade and mix to combine.

Turn the mixture out onto a well-floured board or silicon mat and knead with until smooth and silky (mixture is very sticky initially don’t add to much extra flour see notes).

Use your hand to flatten the scone dough out to about 2 -3 cm (1 inch) thick let rest for 5 minutes.




Then cut into rounds with floured scone cutter or score with a knife quite deeply to make wedges. I love to cut a central scone and then decide the rest into wedges. 


Place scones onto a lined baking tray so that they are just touching and then bake for 15 to 20 minutes. At around the 12 minute mark, brush the tops of the scones with milk.

Scones are cooked when they are golden brown and can be easily pulled apart where they are joined.




Notes

I have made these scones several times now and have found that they keep very well in the freezer. I also use sugar free soda stream lemonade and find that it works just fine. The dough is wetter than most scone doughs and does need a good knead to bring it together into a nice silky dough.

10 Storage Ideas for Small Living ....

Image
When living in small places like a yacht we need to be inventive when it comes to our storage solutions. On many occasions we need to store goods that will last us for many months while we cruise remote areas. Yachts have very awkward storage shapes and sizes that don't ever seem to be square. But if we are creative in how we use these spaces we can surprisingly fit an amazing amount of items. The key is to stay organised with a system so you remember where and when items were stored. When we shop we SHOP .... Finding storage space for all of this can be daunting. Get organised and it will be surprisingly easy. 1. Roll instead of fold. In a home that hasn't got one square cupboard, folding towels and fitted sheets into these spaces is a chore in itself. So why not roll your linens? Just as it does in a suitcase, the rolling method creates more space and you do not have to worry about these items not fitting correctly. We store them grouped together eg

Catching and Cooking Mackerel

Grandson Kristian lands his first Mackerel The Spanish mackerel the Spotted mackerel and the School mackerel are probably the most popular of the mackerel species in Australia and a very popular sport fish.   The Spanish mackerel can be mistaken for wahoo, but can be distinguished by the shorter dorsal fin with less (15-18) dorsal spines and the external bone and upper jaw which both extend to just behind the eye. Smaller Spanish mackerel may also be confused for other mackerel species such as slimy mackerel. They are blue to grey on their dorsal side (back) with many narrow vertical bands along their sides and a grey-silver colour on their belly. The Spotted Mackerel is easily identified with four rows of large black spots over its sides. The School mackerel is the smallest of mackerel caught along the coast. They have two or three rows of large dark blotches, with a white patch on the dorsal fin. They are great fighters with excessive speeds in the water.
