Here’s a simple recipe for Lemonade Scones that only requires three ingredients! These scones are quick to make and have a delightful lemon flavor, perfect for breakfast or tea time.
3-Ingredient Lemonade Scones
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup lemonade (regular or diet)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or thickened cream)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and heavy cream. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the lemonade to the mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; it should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a dough cutter to cut the dough into triangles or squares, depending on your preference.
- Bake the Scones:
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter, clotted cream, or your favorite jam.
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to add lemon zest for an extra burst of lemon flavor or mix in some blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Serving Suggestions: These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two.
Enjoy your delicious and easy Lemonade Scones! They’re perfect for a quick treat with minimal effort.
