3-ingredient scones

If you're in search of a quick and delightful treat that's perfect for any time of the day, these 3-ingredient scones are a fantastic option. With just self-raising flour, lemonade, and heavy whipping cream, you can whip up a batch of delicious scones that are light, fluffy, and deliciously easy to make. Perfect for breakfast, tea time, or a simple dessert, these scones are sure to impress without any fuss.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
1 cup lemonade
230g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust it lightly with flour.
2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, lemonade, and heavy whipping cream. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. The dough will be quite sticky, but avoid over-mixing to keep the scones light and fluffy.
3. Shape the Dough:
- Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently pat it into a rough disc or rectangle about 1-inch thick.
4. Cut Out Scones:
- Using a floured knife or a round cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter), cut the dough into scone shapes. You can gather any scraps and gently pat them together to cut out more scones until all the dough is used.
5. Bake the Scones:
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, optionally with butter, jam, clotted cream, or any topping of your choice.

Tips:

- Don't overmix the dough.: When combining the three ingredients, mix until just combined to keep the scones light and fluffy. Overmixing can make them dense and heavy.

- Use cold ingredients.: For the best texture, ensure your lemonade and heavy whipping cream are cold. The chill helps to create a tender crumb in the scones.

- Flour your work surface.: To prevent the dough from sticking, lightly flour your work surface and your hands when handling the dough.

- Cut with a sharp cutter.: When cutting out the scones, use a sharp cutter and press straight down without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges and prevent the scones from rising properly.

- Bake on a preheated tray.: For a nice rise and evenly baked scones, you can preheat the baking tray in the oven before placing the scones on it.

- Serve warm.: Scones are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. If you need to reheat them, a few minutes in a warm oven should do the trick.

There you have it – a super simple recipe for 3-ingredient scones that anyone can make. These scones are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly tasty, making them the perfect go-to treat for any occasion. Enjoy them plain, or get creative with your favorite toppings and spreads. Happy baking!
