Ingredients

  • 450 g self-raising flour
  • 250 ml double heavy cream
  • 250 ml cold fizzy lemonade
  • 0.5 tsp lemon zest optional – not necessary but makes the scones fragrant

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to fan assisted 180C / 200C / 400C / gas 6.
  2. Mix together flour, cream, lemonade and lemon zest if using until just combined into a soft dough. (Please do not overmix.)
  3. Then transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat out till the mixture is about 2cm thick. Cut out 6cm rounds using a pastry cutter. Reform the trimming and cut out a few more.
  4. Place the scones onto a lightly oiled and lined baking tray, 15-18 mins, until cooked through.
  5. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Let Lemonade Scones cool and serve with:
  • Avoid overmixing the scone dough so you don't end up with tough or dense scones.
  • If the dough is too crumbly add a little extra cream, if it is too sticky add a little extra flour.
  • If you don’t have a pastry cutter then simply use an upturned glass.
  • If you prefer you can shape this into a disk shape and cut out triangles.
  • Keep scones as cold as you can till you put them into the oven as the rise best this way. You can refrigerate them to keep them cold.

  • Optionally you can brush the top of the scones with milk or egg before baking to add a golden colour. What to Serve with Lemonade Scones Let Lemonade Scones cool and serve with:
