Ingredients

• 3 cups (450g) self-raising flour
• 1 cup (250ml) chilled lemonade
• 600ml thickened cream
• 150g frozen raspberries
• 150g white chocolate, finely chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220C. Line a tray with baking paper.
2. Place flour in a large bowl. Form a well in the middle of the flour to pour in lemonade and 250ml of the cream then add raspberries and white chocolate. With a flat-bladed knife, stir the mixture until the dough is soft and sticky.
3. Prepare a lightly floured surface to knead the dough on. Once the dough is smooth, press into a 3cm-thick disc and use a 5cm pastry cutter to cut discs. Try putting flour on the pastry cutter for an easier cut and don’t forget to re-roll the dough for more scones.
4. Place the scones on the lines tray and brush the tops of each with some of the remaining cream. Bake for 12-15mins. Make sure scones are lightly golden and sound hollow when tapped on the surface.
5. Whisk the remaining cream with an electric mixer in a bowl until soft peaks form.
6. Serve fresh with whipped cream and your choice of spreads.
