This is another recipe post from Be A Fun Mum contributor, the Wonderful Amanda from Food Before 5. I made the scones myself and they were a huge success with the kids. Here they are!
2 INGREDIENT SCONES
I am very serious when I say that “this recipe really works!”
I shared it on my ‘Food before 5’ page a little while back & ended up having women from all over the world baking them & sending me photos. It is a recipe that has been passed down generations in my husband’s family and now I am sharing it with you. Get started now & these soft & fluffy scones will be ready within 25 mins!
Enjoy!
Amanda
Ingredients
3 cups self-raising flour, sifted
2 cups + 2 Tbspn thickened cream (550ml)
Jam and cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, sift flour. Pour in cream. With a bread & butter knife, quickly mix to a soft sticky dough.
- On a floured surface, turn out the mixture & knead gently. Press out dough to approx. 1 ½ cm thick.
- Cut scones & place on tray with scones close together.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 mins. Remove from oven & cool on wire rack.
- Serve with jam & cream.
Notes
If you don’t havea scone cutter, press out dough into a rectangle 1 ½ cm thick & cut out 18 squares with a knife.
Storage

August 28, 2014 at 1:02 pmHi Kelly, I know this recipe works with GF flour but you just need to make the scones a little thicker as they don’t rise as much. I haven’t tried it with coconut cream though.
Any other questions, please let me know,
Amanda (foodbefore5@live.com.au)

November 29, 2014 at 7:05 amHi, I was just wondering – since we don’t have thickened cream around here (and I have no idea what it is), do you think condensed milk would work? Or condensed milk + cream?

March 4, 2015 at 9:10 amJust add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for each cup of plain flour. Sift well.

April 9, 2023 at 6:43 pmI’ve always used 2 cups of flour & a 300ml bottle of cream…..I found the recipe in an old Country Women’s cookbook years ago. It also said that the best scones were the ones made with the forgotten out of date cream at the back of the fridge.
