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.
