Lemonade scones

Lemonade scones are a delightful twist on the classic scone recipe. They are light, fluffy, and incredibly easy to prepare. The addition of lemonade gives these scones a unique flavor and texture, making them perfect for any tea party or casual get-together. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delicious treats in no time.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1/2 cup lemonade
120g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) or 200°C (392°F) if you're using a fan-forced oven.
2. Prepare the baking tray:
Line a baking tray with baking paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
3. Mix dry ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Use a whisk to ensure they're evenly mixed.
4. Add wet ingredients:
Pour the heavy whipping cream and lemonade into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
5. Combine ingredients gently:
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently combine the ingredients. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scones tough.
6. Turn out the dough:
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. The dough will be sticky, but try to handle it as little as possible to keep the scones light and fluffy.
7. Shape the dough:
Pat the dough into a round shape about 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick.
8. Cut out the scones:
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out scones, about 5-6 cm in diameter. Place each scone on the prepared baking tray. Re-roll the leftover dough and cut out more scones until all the dough is used.
9. Brush with milk:
With a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with milk. This will help them develop a nice golden color as they bake.
10. Bake the scones:
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the scones for 10-12 minutes, or until they have risen and are golden brown on top.
11. Cool and serve:
Remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, and clotted cream if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to use cold heavy whipping cream to ensure a light and fluffy texture.

- Do not overmix the dough; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough scones.

- Use a sharp cutter dipped in flour to cut out the scones for clean edges and to help them rise evenly.

- Brush the tops of the scones with milk for a golden, shiny finish.

- For best results, bake the scones on a high heat to give them a quick rise and a soft interior.

Lemonade scones are a quick and easy recipe that promises delightful results with minimal effort. Perfect for any occasion, these scones are sure to please with their light, fluffy texture and subtly sweet flavor. By following a few key tips, you can ensure that your scones turn out perfect every time. Enjoy them fresh from the oven with your favorite topping, whether it be a dollop of cream, a spread of butter, or a spoonful of jam.
