It's simple.

With just one click, all these ingredients will be put into a basket on mySupermarket.co.uk.

You can select the products you need, compare prices and choose the retailer you wish to buy them from. Or you can leave them in your basket and come back later to buy items from other recipes.

One thing is for sure though, you are guaranteed to find the best value.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7 and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Sift the flour into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the cream and lemonade. Mix first with a wooden spoon and then with your hands to make a firm dough.

3. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 circles using a scone (or cookie) cutter.

4. Arrange the scones on the lined baking tray and bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

5. Serve the scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam.

I make these every week. They are simple to make and delicious. I do not add sugar but have found that double cream makes them lighter and I have used diet lemonade and there is no difference in taste or texture.

I just made these after seeing them on 4 Ingredients, I was plesantly suprised by how well they turned out. light and fluffly and well risen. The one thing i would change is to add some caster sugar to them, maybe 75 grams, or perhaps dip them in sugar before baking as despite the lemonade there is no sweetness to them. Mine need almost 20 mins in the oven, but could just be my oven.

Worth trying them out!
