"To master a piece on the piano, learn how to order a glass of wine in Italian, plant a herb garden or make a book case are not world-transforming achievements, in the big romantic sense. But they allow us to be active agents of beauty, grace and order."
I read this quote the other day in an article about creativity and happiness and it really struck a cord inside. The reason why I made this blog is because it's one of my only creative outlets since finishing uni. I don't care if no one reads it, being creative is FUN and it makes me happy :) So there you go.
Other things that make me happy include easy recipes and yummy food. These lemonade scones fit both of these criteria so happiness prevails! (Shout out to the lovely Carly for offering her kitchen)

Would you like to know how to make scones? Well here you are:
Ingredients
Lemonade
Self-raising flour
Thickened cream
That's it! Easy! I would give you measurements but in reality, you just guess. I followed a recipe on a website and the dough was too dry so I had to add more cream and lemonade. Just go for it, be creative!!
How to make
How to make
1. Preheat the oven at 225 degrees. Pour flour into a bowl (easy enough)
2. Mix lemonade and cream together (still relative easy)
3. Pour lemonade and cream into flour and mix together. Don't mix it too much though, just until it's all combined. It should be sticky and soft.
4. Lightly flour the bench and roll out the dough to about 3.5cm thick.
5. Cut the dough into the desired scone shapes and place on a tray. SO I know scones are meant to be round but we didn't have a round cookie cutter. We just used a knife and cut them into squares/squircles.
TIP: Later that night, mum told me that she uses the top of a wine glass! So there you go. She's a thinker.
6. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 225 degrees.
7. Whip up the cream while you wait, open the jam, let the scones cool and then EAT as many as you want!!! They are delicious.
FUN FACT: I eat my scones like a sandwich. Yes that is probably a bit odd but I guess that's the way I like it! How do you eat yours?
