Scones with lemonade are a delightful twist on traditional scones. This recipe combines the zestiness of lemon with the sweetness of powdered sugar and the fizz of lemonade to create a light, fluffy treat that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp lemon zest

30g

1 dash salt

1 cup heavy whipping cream

230g

1 cup lemonade

230g

1 cup powdered sugar

160g

2 tbsp lemon juice

10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 tbsp lemon zest and 1 dash of salt. Stir well to ensure the lemon zest is evenly distributed throughout the mix.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of lemonade into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the scones remain light and fluffy.

4. Shape Your Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Knead it gently for a few seconds until it comes together. Pat the dough into a flat disc about 1-2 inches thick.

5. Cut the Scones: Using a round cutter or a knife, cut the dough into scone shapes. You can make them as large or small as you prefer. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.

6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and have risen. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

7. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: While the scones are baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tbsp of lemon juice until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, you can add a little more lemon juice or water, a few drops at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

8. Glaze the Scones: Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the lemon glaze over the tops. Use a spoon or a small piping bag for more precise drizzling.

9. Serve: Enjoy your lemonade scones warm or at room temperature, with clotted cream and jam if you like.

Tips:

- Ensure your heavy whipping cream and lemonade are well-chilled before using to help achieve the perfect scone texture.

- Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor—organic lemons are preferable if available.

- Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid over-mixing, which can result in dense scones.

- After combining the wet and dry ingredients, let the mixture rest for a few minutes before shaping and baking to allow the scones to rise more effectively.

- Use a light hand when shaping the dough into rounds. Overworking the dough can make the scones tough.

- For an extra lemony glaze, mix additional powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled scones.

These scones with lemonade are sure to impress with their unique, refreshing flavor and tender texture. Whether you enjoy them plain, with a smear of butter, or a dollop of clotted cream, these scones are a versatile and delicious addition to your baking repertoire.
