To make soda water scones you need self-raising flour, which is combined with cream and soda water to make a light scone.
Scones are best fresh from the oven, they will be ok to eat the day after baking, but the best advice is to eat them quickly.

Made these and they were a wild hit! Made a batch with raisins and a batch with cinnamon and apple too. So easy!
I've made this recipe a few times now and I've had great results. Works out wonderful made as per the recipe and they were delicious served with slow cooked lamb shanks. I've also made without the ham and with no cheese on top and on another occasion I added dried herbs instead of fresh. Great results every time and super quick and easy to make (love the fact that there is no kneading with scones). I also halved the measurements as I only wanted a small amount and I still got 5 lovely large scones. This is my go to recipe for savoury scones.
