Lemonade Scones (3 ingredients) image

Scones from scratch, made using only 3 ingredients! Soft and moist, and must be served with copious amounts of cream and jam.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups (525g) self raising flour (, plus extra for dusting (Note 1))
1 cup (250 ml) thickened / heavy whipping cream ((not whipped))
1 cup (250 ml) lemonade ((Note 2))
Whipped cream
Jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan). Line tray with baking/parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, cream and lemonade in a bowl and mix until flour is mostly combined. Do not over mix, it will make the scones dense! The dough should be soft and fairly sticky.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead gently just 3 - 5 times to bring dough together, then gently pat into a disc shape 2.5cm/1" thick.
  • Use a 6cm/2.5" round cutter to cut rounds - press straight up and down (don't twist), flour cutter in between. (Note 4)
  • Use a knife or similar to scoop up (avoid touching sides) and place on tray, slightly touching each other (they help each other rise).
  • Brush the tops lightly with milk. (Note 5)
  • Bake for 15 minutes until golden on top. Place on rack to cool. Place tea towel over them to stop the tops from getting crusty.
  • Serve with copious amounts of cream and jam, and of course tea!
