These scones are always perfect! I've had a gastric sleeve and my dad is diabetic so neither of us can have very much sugar. I always substitute sugar free lemonade and have never had any issues with dough texture. If anything they've tasted better! Also add dates into the dry mixture before wet ingredients... yum!

Excellent recipe which lends itself to easy division for half-quantities and additions such a dried fruit and spices. No need to mess about with baking paper when you can simply use non-stick foil!

Never have I been able to do scones, well I did it thank you, easy and yummy
Preheat oven to 220°C conventional. Cover an oven tray with a sheet of baking paper or spray well with non stick baking spray.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl to form a smooth dough (the mixture will be quite sticky). Tip out onto a floured bench and form into a 'round'. Carefully lift and place onto baking tray (a dough scraper helps) and cut into wedges. Leave with the sides touching - scones will pull apart after baking.
Alternatively, use a cookie cutter or knife to cut scones into rounds or squares.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until cooked through and pale golden. Cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea towel (this keeps the scones lovely and soft).
Cut in half and serve warm with butter, jam and whipped cream.
Scone Variations Add 1 cup of dried fruit to the mixture e.g. chopped dates, sultanas, raisins or dried cranberries.
Add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the mixture.
To make savoury scones, replace the lemonade with soda water and any of these optional extras:- - 1 large onion, finely chopped - 1 cup grated tasty cheese - 6 rashers lean rindless bacon, chopped - 3 tablespoons chopped parsley or fresh herbs
To make cinnamon pinwheel scones, mix 2 teaspoons cinnamon with 3/4 cup Chelsea Caster Sugar. Lay the dough mixture out flat on a well floured bench. Pat out to a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20cm. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the surface. Roll up from the long side into a sausage shape then cut into slices. Lay the slices on a prepared tray so they just touch each other. Cook as above. The lovely sticky cinnamon filling can be quite hot so allow to cool a little before tucking in!
