Birthday Cake Scones

Makes 9

INGREDIENTS:

375g self-raising flour plus extra to dust

Pinch of salt

150ml thickened cream

190ml (¾ cup) lemonade

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

3 tbsp Dollar Sweets 100s and 1000s

VANILLA GLAZE:

100g icing sugar mixture

1 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl combine flour and salt, mix well.

Make a well in the centre and add cream, lemonade and vanilla bean paste. Use a metal knife to mix the ingredients until they form a rough dough.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly-floured clean surface.

Lightly knead the dough then add sprinkles and knead until just combined (kneading the dough too much results in dense scones!).

Roll the dough out to 1 inch thick and use a round cookie cutter (about 7cm) to cut 9 rounds from the dough.

Arrange the scones so they are touching in a square, on a prepared baking tray.

Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

To make the vanilla glaze, whisk together all ingredients then drizzle over the cooled scones to serve.
