Lemonade Scones

- June 23, 2018

These super light and fluffy lemonade scones are so easy to make, with only three ingredients. I remember when I first made them, I couldn't get enough of them. They were quick to make and were so good with cream and jam straight from the oven.

This recipe is a hit with my family and friends. I can't remember the last time I made just plain scones. Give this recipe a try and it will be one of your favourite recipes to go to for an easy bake.

Happy baking xo

Lemonade Scones

Ingredients

· 2 cups self-raising flour

· ⅔ cup lemonade (cold)
· ⅔ cup thickened cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C.

2. Line baking tray with baking paper or sprinkle flour over the baking tray.

3. Place flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Add lemonade and cream. Using a butter knife mix until just combined. It

should still be soft and sticky.

4. Place dough mixture onto a lightly floured bench and knead lightly. Press dough out to about 2.5 cm in thickness and cut out scones using a round 5 cm cookie cutter.

5. Place scones onto the baking tray evenly spread out or just touching each other. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

6. Serve scones warm with whipped cream and jam.

Tips

· You can bake the scones evenly spaced out on the baking tray or just touching each other. I have tried both ways and it comes down to personal preference. Both ways the scones tasted delicious.

· The scone dough mixture will be quite sticky, don’t worry just flour your hands with flour. Try not to over work the dough as it will produce tough scones.

· If you like a soft crust on your scones, cover them with a tea towel straight after you take them out of the oven, as the tea towel helps to keep the moisture in.
