3-Ingredient Scones (Lemonade Scones)
This 3-ingredient scone recipe has become a global sensation! Also referred to as lemonade scones, this formula typically includes self-raising flour, cream and lemonade as its trinity of ingredients. The cream gives these otherwise basic scones a taste of pure luxury.
Ingredients
- 550 grams self raising flour (sifted)
- 250 millilitre double cream
- 250 millilitre carbonated lemonade (like Sprite)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt ((optional))
- milk for brushing the tops
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 220C/428F/gas mark 7. Line a baking sheet large enough for 9 scones with baking parchment.
- 2
Place the self-raising flour, salt if using, double cream and lemonade in a mixing bowl.
- 3
Gently stir together using a fork just until combined into a soft, sticky dough. Be very careful not to overmix.
- 4
Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the shaggy dough onto it. Gently shape and pat into an even square about 3cm tall.
- 5
Flour a 6cm fluted round pastry cutter. Push straight down into the dough to cut out the scones, don't wiggle the cutter.
- 6
Lift each one onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and space them out equally, allowing room for expansion. Gather scraps and pat out again to cut more scones.
- 7
Lightly brush the tops of the scones with milk. Bake for 14-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- 8
Transfer the baked scones onto a wire cooling rack to cool down.
