Easy lemonade scones

Lemonade scones are a delightful, quick, and easy treat that you can whip up in no time. Using just three basic ingredients - self-raising flour, lemonade, and buttermilk - these scones are light, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a tea-time snack. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, you'll find this recipe straightforward and fun to make.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 cup lemonade
230g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- Measure out 1/2 cup of self-raising flour (72g) and place it in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Pour in 1 cup of lemonade (230g) and 1/2 cup of buttermilk (120g) into the flour. The carbonation in the lemonade helps the scones rise and gives them a light texture.
4. Combine the Ingredients:
- Gently stir the mixture until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense scones. The dough will be quite sticky, which is normal.
5. Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. With lightly floured hands, pat it gently into a round shape about 1 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out round scones.
6. Arrange and Bake:
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one. Brush the tops lightly with extra buttermilk to help them brown nicely.
7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the scones are cooked through.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, and cream.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it is hot enough when you place the scones in.

- Use cold ingredients to help the scones rise better and achieve a lighter texture.

- Avoid overworking the dough; mix it just enough to combine the ingredients.

- Use a floured surface and a light touch when shaping and cutting the dough to maintain its lightness.

- To get uniform scones, use a round cutter and press down firmly without twisting.

With just a few simple steps, you can create delicious and fluffy lemonade scones that are sure to impress. Enjoy these scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as clotted cream and jam, or simply with a pat of butter. They are perfect for serving at gatherings or enjoying as a cozy homemade treat. Happy baking!
