Ingredients
For the scone
- 525 g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 250 ml thickened cream (heavy cream), not whipped!
- 250 ml lemonade
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan). Line tray with baking/parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, cream and lemonade in a bowl and mix until flour is mostly combined. Do not over mix, it will make the scones dense! The dough should be soft and fairly sticky.
- Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently just 3 - 5 times to bring dough together, then gently pat into a disc shape 2.5cm/1 thick.
- Use a 6cm round cutter to cut rounds - press straight up and down (don't twist), flour the cutter in between.
- Use a knife or similar to scoop up (avoid touching sides) and place on tray, slightly touching each other (they help each other rise).
- Brush the tops lightly with milk.
- Bake for 15 minutes until golden on top. Place on rack to cool. Place tea towel over them to stop the tops from getting crusty.
