& TIPS
Lemonade - you can use any brand of lemonade! Usually, I use Schweppes, but as long as it’s sweet and fizzy then it will work with this recipe.
Dried fruit - my favourite fruit scones are made using sultanas or chopped dates, but chopped apricots are delicious too.
Brushing with milk - this gives the scones a beautiful golden colour when baked.
Storing - scones are best on the day they are baked. In fact, they’re at their very best when they’re warm and fresh out of the oven! If you’re taking them to a friend’s house or don’t need them for an hour or so, wrap the scones in a tea towel and it will keep them warm and delicious.
Freezing - you can freeze scones for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Allow to defrost at room temperature before serving. I recommend slightly reheating the scones in the microwave or oven if they've been defrosted (optional).

Reviews from the Original Source
I read and re-read this recipe about 100 times and doubted it could work. I've never been successful at scones, and a sudden invitation to visit a fried for coffee, convinced me togive them a try. I'm a convert! My dough was a bit too sticky, which meant cutting and placing was difficult, and probably resulted in a bit more poking and prodding than recommended. In any case, the scones were light and fluffy as promised. Thanks!! I'm looking forward to trying another batch!
