Lemonade Scones Tips
If you prefer the tops of the scones to be crusty, cool on a wire rack as soon as you remove them from the oven. But if you prefer soft tops, you can achieve this by wrapping them in a tea towel instead.
Enjoy these light and fluffy lemonade scones while you can – they’ll race out the door!
Ingredients
- 3 cups of self-raising flour
- 1 cup of thickened cream
- 1 cup of lemonade
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Optional Extras: sultanas, dates or cinnamon if desired.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 220°C.
- Place sifted flour, cream and lemonade into a large mixing bowl.
- Fold ingredients together with your hands, a spoon or cut them in with a knife until just combined. The dough should be sticky and not too dry – avoid adding too much extra flour. Ensure any kneading and folding is kept to a minimum so that the scones are light and fluffy.
- Place the mixture on a lightly floured bench, gently knead (do not use a rolling pin) until combined. Press the dough out to approximately 5cms thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter or other round cutter to create around 6cm scones. You may find it easier to cut the scones if you lightly coat the cutter in flour.
- Place scones close together (just touching) on a lightly greased baking tray to help them rise upwards and maintain their shape. Brush the tops with the milk, or as an alternative, a lightly beaten egg.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.
