Site Administrator Graeme Posted November 3, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted November 3, 2007 Care to share your Secret Scone Recipe (SSR)? I've been look for a good one for quite some time... My secret recipe (as found on the internet): 4 cups self raising flour, sifted 1 cup lemonade 1 cup cream (I use thickened cream) Pinch of salt Milk Make a well in the flour and salt mixture. Add the lemonade and cream and mix until just combined. Turn onto floured surface and knead lightly. Press out dough to 3/4 inch. Cut with scone cutter (or the rim of a glass or coffee mug) Brush with milk Bake in a pre-heated 200C oven for 10-15 minutes. You can add grated cheese, bacon bits of dried fruit if you like. For anyone in North America who wants to try the recipe, check out the links on self raising flour and lemonade before you make it -- the ingredients may not be what you expect (definitely not in the case of lemonade). Thickened cream is whipping cream. Link to comment

When I lived in Boston, I wanted to make mulled wine and the recipe I had called for lemonade. I had to move heaven and earth to find it, even in Boston. Menzo Link to comment

Menzo We Indians prefer to make fresh lemonade by squeezing the hell out of fresh lemons, adding a bit of sugar, pepper and rock salt and then finally some water. BeaStKid Link to comment

I know of someone who ships it in from the UK.... Sprite and 7-up are close and should be fine for this recipe. We Indians prefer to make fresh lemonade by squeezing the hell out of fresh lemons, adding a bit of sugar, pepper and rock salt and then finally some water. That sounds like American lemonade.

Ieshwar Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well, Mauritian lemonade is same as Indian and American ones! Link to comment
BeaStKid Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 We also have something similar to Sprite and 7-Up. It is locally known as banta. It is soda, limejuice and sugar. It comes in a bottle which has a marble in its neck. The seller breaks the marble and pours the liquid into a glass. He then adds rock salt, pepper and other things according to taste. It is delicious! BeaStKid Link to comment

glomph Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm celebrating recalling my first trip to London. I was reminded by the scone recipe of when I ordered "lemonade" and was surprised at what I was served. The scone recipe reminds me also of the ice cream bread recipe I posted in another thread.

BeaStKid Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) Happy that you guys have a reason to celebrate. Now may I ask what Diwali is? I'm sorry I'll not be able to give a proper reply to this as I'm replying through my cell phone and it is impossible to link something. I'll direct you to the Happy Diwali thread in the Lounge. It gives a fairly short description of what Diwali is. I'm trying to link to wiki, but I'm not sure if this'll work. Here it goes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali If this doesn't work, you can use the ever helping wiki yourself. take care BeaStKid P.S Egad! It's working! I guess I can put links to those whose url I can remember or whose I can take a wild guess, like the one I just did! Lol Edited November 10, 2007 by BeaStKid Link to comment
