Is there anything more comforting than a warm scone with raspberry jam and cream? This super easy Lemonade Scone recipe is so easy you can leave it to the kids to make! Its light, its fluffy its delicious!
Ingredients: Makes 12
- 2 Cups Of Self Raising Flour
- 1 Cup Of Lemonade (can use sugar free)
- 300ml Thickened Cream (get extra to serve if you wish. You can use light cream)
- Milk (for brush on top)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Prepare a tray by lining with non-stick baking paper.
2. In a bowl place flour, cream then lemonade all together. Use a wooden spoon to mix together gently until a dough is combined. Your dough should be sticky, but if you feel you need a little more flour then add some as needed in small amounts at a time.
3. On a bench sprinkle a little flour then use your hands a little more to form a dough and kneed gently. Be sure to NOT to push too much air out by overworking or you will lose the effect of your lemonade and rise when baking.
4. Flour your rolling pin and roll out the dough LIGHTLY to approx 2-3cm thickness. Use a glass or scone cutter to cut out circles.
4. On your baking tray lay out each scone atleast 2cm apart. Brush the tops with milk to help golden. Bake for 15 minutes until risen and a golden colour on top. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
5. Serve warm with your choice of jam and whipped cream.
Tip – Keep in a airtight container and eat within 2 days for best freshness. If you are not going to use in that time freeze in a airtight container on the day of baking. Defrost a couple of hours before needed and heat in your microwave as needed.
