Description
Delicious and fluffy scones made with fizzy lemonade and heavy cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ¼ cups self-rising flour (spooned and levelled)
- 1 cup fizzy lemonade (like Sprite)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- jam and cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the flour to a large mixing bowl. Mix in the lemonade and cream until all the flour is moistened and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as we want the dough to be somewhat clumpy, or else the scones will be dense.
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface. Gently knead a few times to bring the dough together, then flatten into an 8-inch disc about 1 inch thick.
- Use a round cutter to cut into rounds and transfer to the prepared baking sheet with some space between each one.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
Notes
- For best results, serve immediately with jam and cream.
- These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
