Lemonade Scones Ingredients:

All you need to make these scones is some self raising flour, lemonade and cream – yep that’s really it! Because you don’t need to rub butter into the flour, these 3 ingredient Lemonade Scones really take no time at all to make, and it took me less than 10 minutes to get out the ingredients, make the scone dough and get these into the oven.

• Cream – I usually use thickened cream for this recipe, however you can also use pouring cream if you wish.
• Lemonade – any brand of lemonade will work for this recipe Just make sure that it’s fizzy!
• Self-raising flour – if you don’t have any self-raising four you can make your own, add 3 teaspoons of baking powder to the 3 cups of flour required for this recipe.

How to Make Lemonade Scones

1. Combine the self-raising flour, cream and lemonade in a large bowl and mix with a butter knife to combine.
2. Tip the mixture onto a bench dusted with some extra flour and shape into a rectangle.
3. Cut out the scones and place them onto a baking tray.
4. Bake until golden and cooked through.

My Tips for making this recipe:

• Take care not to over mix the scone dough, if you mix it too much the scones will lose some of their lightness.
• The mixture will be quite sticky when you tip it onto your bench – this is normal. I suggest to spread approximately ¼ cup of extra flour over your bench and lightly dust your fingertips with flour when shaping the dough into a rectangle.
• Dip your cookie cutter into flour to help the scones easily be removed.
• Place the scones so that they are almost touching each other onto your baking tray, this will help them to rise up instead of outwards.
• If you wish, you can brush a little milk over the top of the scones before baking, however this isn’t essential.
• The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your scones, I suggest checking them at the 10 minute mark.
• You will know the scones are cooked when they sound hollow when lightly tapped.
