Soda water scones are a quick and easy treat to whip up when you crave something warm and comforting yet light and fluffy. The use of sparkling water instead of traditional ingredients like buttermilk or cream gives these scones a unique texture that's wonderfully airy. Perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or a light snack, these scones require minimal ingredients and effort.

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). This ensures the oven is hot enough to bake the scones evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking tray to prevent the scones from sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the sparkling water. The bubbles in the sparkling water help to make the scones light and fluffy.
Using a spatula or your hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as it can make the scones tough. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough out to about 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch) thick.
Using a round cutter or a glass dipped in flour, cut out scones from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough, re-pat it down, and cut out additional scones until all the dough is used.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and have risen nicely.
Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, cream, or any preferred toppings.
Tips:
- Ensure your sparkling water is fresh and bubbly for the best results.
- Don't overmix the dough; you want to keep those air bubbles intact for a light, fluffy texture.
- If the dough is too sticky, lightly dust your hands and the work surface with flour.
- Try to handle the dough as little as possible to avoid making the scones tough.
- For a savory twist, omit the sugar and add your favorite herbs and cheese.
Soda water scones offer a delightful twist on a classic recipe, providing you with light and fluffy treats without the need for heavy creams or buttermilk. Following these simple steps and keeping a few key tips in mind will ensure you create perfectly baked scones every time. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a pat of butter or your favorite jam.
