Three ingredient lemonade scones
An easy scone recipe makes in no more than 30 minutes. By combining flour with lemonade (to act as a leavening agent, add sweetness and a hint of citrus) and cream (for fat content and as a binding agent), you can whip these treats up in a flash, using just 3 ingredients you might already have in your pantry.
Ingredients
- ½ cup double or clotted cream
- ½ cup lemonade
- 1 ½ cups plain flour sifted, plus extra for kneading and dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- In a large bowl, add flour and make a well in the centre of the flour with your hands
- Add lemonade and cream and begin to bring together with a spoon. You can use your hands to ensure all of the flour is brought into the wet dough mixture. Don’t worry if the dough is quite sticky at this stage.
- Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead the dough until it feels smooth and no longer sticks to your fingers. Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough so you have a thick mat, around 3-4cm thick
- Using a ramekin or biscuit cutter around 7cm wide, cut out the rounds that will form your scones
- Give them a little plump with your hands, dust lightly with sifted flour, and pop them on a lined bakery tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the scones are golden brown ad sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow to cool slightly, then serve with freshly brewed tea, clotted cream and strawberry jam (jam on first, please!)
