Sunday morning, a little lack of quality in the pictures, but here comes an easy and yummy Scones recipe:

• 3 tablespoons icing sugar
• 450g flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 200g single cream
• 125ml sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• milk, for brushing

Preheat the oven to 200°C and dust a baking tray with flour. Sift the icing sugar, flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix together the cream, water and lemon juice and then quickly add to the bowl and combine with the dry ingredients. Turn out onto a floured surface, knead very lightly until smooth and press out to about 2-3cm thick. Use a little glass to cut rounds from dough (re-roll the scraps). Put the scones together on the tray, brush with milk and bake for 10-20 minutes, until golden and puffed. Serve warm with butter and some yummy jam and clotted cream…
