Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) or 200°C (392°F) if you're using a fan-forced oven.
Line a baking tray with baking paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sugar. Use a whisk to ensure they're evenly mixed.
Pour the heavy whipping cream and lemonade into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
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.
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.
Pat the dough into a round shape about 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick.
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.
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.
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.
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.
