Lemonade Scones

This recipe is so simple! My mother has been making this for us for years and it's the most delicious, fluffy scone that I've ever tasted! They're amazing fresh out of the oven.

ServesMakes about 12 sconesPrep15 minutesCook15 minutesTotal30 minutes

ingredients

3 cups of self raising flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 tsp salt
300ml fresh, thickened cream
3/4 cup of lemonade

Toppings

Raspberry Jam
Whipped cream

method

Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced.
Sift the SR flour into a large mixing bowl.
Add salt, thickened cream and lemonade.
Stir to combine.
On a clean surface, sprinkle a small amount of flour and transfer the mixture onto the surface. Knead lightly and briefly, adding flour as necessary (don't overwork it or the scones will be tough).
Once it just comes together into a soft, smooth dough, use a rolling pin and roll until it is 1.5cm thick.
Using a circle cookie cutter, cut out the scones and place them onto a lined baking tray.
With the extra dough that is left over from cutting, gently re-knead and roll out again, repeating this process until there is none left.
Put the scones into the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Then serve with jam and whipped cream!
