Lemonade Scones
Lemonade scones are a delightful treat made with just three ingredients, perfect for breakfast, tea time, or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3.5 cups self-raising flour (plus extra for dusting) Flour substitute available.
- 1 cup thickened cream Use heavy cream, not whipped.
- 1 cup lemonade Regular or sparkling lemonade can be used.
For Serving
- Whipped cream For serving.
- Jam For serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F (or 180°C for fan ovens) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cream, and lemonade. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it just 3-5 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a disc shape about 2.5cm thick.
- Using a 6cm round cutter, cut out rounds from the dough, pressing straight up and down without twisting. Flour the cutter in between to avoid sticking.
- Use a knife to carefully scoop up the rounds and place them on the tray, arranging them so they are slightly touching.
- Brush the tops lightly with milk.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden on top. Once baked, place them on a rack to cool and cover with a tea towel.
Serving
- Serve warm, split open and slathered with whipped cream and jam.
Notes
For best results, measure ingredients accurately and avoid overworking the dough. You can mix in chocolate chips or dried fruits for added flavor.
