Ingredients

• 325g self-raising flour
• 2/3 cup cold lemonade
• 2/3 cup thickened cream

Method

1. Preheat oven to 230 degrees.
2. Line baking tray with paper and sprinkle with flower to prevent scones from sticking.
3. Sift flower into a large bowl.
4. In another bowl, combine lemonade and cream.
5. Add lemonade mixture to flour and fold slowly until just combined.
6. Roll small balls with mixture on baking tray, ensuring they don’t stick together.

Like standard scones, it’s always great to serve the lemonade scones with some jam and cream or butter. Lemon marmalade works a treat but the sweet taste of a strawberry or raspberry jam is going to work well with the lemon flavour of the scone.

Also feel free to sprinkle with icing sugar to make them look even better!
