We had to try this hack for simple three-ingredient scones - what a shortcut! They came out light, fluffy, and delicious served with clotted cream and jam. Comment below with your tips or variations.

Ingredients
700g of self-raising flour
1 can of lemonade (330ml)
300ml of whipping cream

Method
1. Mix the self-raising flour, lemonade and cream into a large bowl until it makes a fluffy dough
2. Tip the dough onto a floured board and flatten it out so it's around one inch thick
3. Using an upside-down mug - or an actual scone cutter - cut even circles out of the dough, rolling up the excess and repeating this step until there's none left
4. Place the scones on a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown on top
5. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before smothering in jam and clotted cream
