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’s goal is to create simple meals that anyone can cook and enjoy without spending hours in the kitchen. Her recipes are perfect for that busy weeknight dinner, snacks to fill the lunch boxes or for students learning to cook.

    I would love to know if you think this recipe would work with Gluten Free flour and coconut cream? Need to adjust due to intolerances.

      Hi 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,

      Kelly I am so glad you asked this question. I have 2 girls who can not have gluten but one can not have dairy either. Has anyone tried it yet?

    Hi, 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?

      Where are you from? Do you have pouring or whipping cream? Thickened cream has about 35 percent fat content.

    I don’t have self rising flour. How do you make it from scratch?

      Just add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for each cup of plain flour. Sift well.

    Can you substitute the cream for butter or ghee?

    I’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 It also said that the best scones were the ones made with the forgotten out of date cream at the back of the fridge.
