SCONES

Old-fashioned scones using three ingredients; lemonade, cream and flour to create light, fluffy treats perfect with jam and cream
YIELD
8

INGREDIENTS

525g Self Raising Flour

250g Heavy Cream

250g Lemonade

+ 2 tbsp Milk, cold (for brushing)

+ Whipped Cream and Jam to serve

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350F (180°C)

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add flour, cream and lemonade and mix with a butter knife until the flour is mostly combined.

Be careful not to over mix, just until the mixture has come together. The dough should be soft and a little sticky.

Note: If you cannot buy self raising flour, make your own, adding 2 tsp of baking powder for every 150g of all

purpose flour.

Lightly flour a clean work surface and gently release the scone mixture onto the flour. Knead gently 3 to 5 times

to bring the dough together then stop and gently pat the dough flat, to 1” thickness.

Use a 2.5” cutter (or a glass) to cut rounds, dipping the cutter or glass into flour between each use. Press straight

up and down and each time to cut a clean disc.

Slide a pallet knife or knife under each scone to lift gently and transfer to the prepared baking tray. Place scones

close to each other on the tray; they will join as they bake.

Brush the tops of each scone with milk.

Place the baking tray into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the scones are golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Place a clean kitchen towel over the tops to keep them moist.

Serve with whipped cream and your favourite jam or preserve.
