You could give it a go.I have used half cream half milk when not enough cream for recipe before and they turned out OK.

I'd melt some butter to add to increase fat content.

isn't the whole point of L & P Scones to remove the milk? or is it a taste thing?

no, the cream is there to replace the butter (fat) in the scone.
As said before I would add a bit of butter if using straight milk.

Without fat your scones are going to taste pretty much like dampers. All right providing you eat them right away. Scones with fat stay moist a little bit longer.

I was taught by a Chef in Rotorua to use a 2 litre bottle of L&P, 2 litres of milk and 2 litres of cream. Add to flour as normal, and when ready, LIGHTLY knead out onto a floured board. Cut into squares approx 10cm square, and put into oven to cook.
Adjust the liquid ingredients according to the amount of scones you want to make - I have used this recipe for years, and no one else I know can make scones that turn out this big.
Her scones used to sell in a tourist attraction for $6.50 each, and are light and fluffy when made using this recipe.
The L&P mixed with the cream and milk produces CO2 gas, hence the massive size.

Are L & P scones the same as lemonade ones (can you substitute the lemonade for L&P).Thanks.

Yup ..
Any clearish carbonated drink works but I've found that L&P just has it's own flavour in the scones ..
