Wow!! That's something coming from you JD!  :-* :-* I heard on Macca this morning that Adelaide was going to get that hot - I can't understand why it gets so hot down there when it's so close to Tassie - must be the desert heat???

Even we were feeling the heat down here in Tassie today Nay.  I think we must have hit at least 25 ;) ;D.

Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne - we all get very hot.  Tassie sounds nice during summer though.  Took some scones + some jam and cream around to Mum and received a phone call later saying the scones were 'absolutely delicious' so from one family to another, we thank you.   :-* :-*  I just found the dough so easy to work with and it was the quickest batch of scones I've ever made.

Chelsea, pmsl!!

Nay-nay I have a friend in Adelaide and I just don't get it either. To me further south means colder, further north hotter, move to the other side of the equator and the opposite.

There has to be some reward for putting up with the VERY long and cold winters here.  ;D

Mum was never a good scone maker Nay-nay and us kids used to love the odd Sunday morning when the lady around the corner would bring us some hot scones wrapped in a tea towel.  I therefore never learnt how to make them either, tried but it wasn't until the TMX came into my life that I had success.

These were the first totally successful scones I have ever made as well - they're wonderful.  I always have a stock sitting in the freezer now for when visitors come (and for me when visitors don't come!).

I have always been hopeless at making scones!......seems like I still am  :P
I made a 1/2 batch just now, but my dough was really  sticky.  I was careful of measurements, so did I knead it for too long perhaps ?
I did add some extra flour to the dough, and that did bring it all together.  So how long does everyone knead it for please?
