This old trick?? Well yes. Perfect every time. Fuss less my friends and enjoy more! I whipped these and some savoury scones up last weekend when the weather was dour and it felt as though a cup of tea would solve the problems of the world...and apparently it did! LOVELY!
For a sweeter scone, use plain lemonade in place of the soda water and add 1 tsp vanilla bean paste.
