Ingredients

250 ml chilled sparkling lemonade
125 ml thickened cream
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (428°F).
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and sparkling lemonade until just combined.
Gently fold in cream (and vanilla extract, if using) until a soft dough forms.
Knead briefly (5-6 times) on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Pat dough out to about 2cm thickness.
Use a 6cm round cutter to stamp out scones, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Place scones on prepared tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool slightly on a wire rack, then devour warm with jam, honey, or whipped cream!

Notes

If you don't have access to gluten-free self-raising flour, making your own is easy and only requires a few ingredients.

Start by combining 1 cup of your favourite gluten free flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a bowl.
Whisk together all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Your gluten free self-raising flour is now ready to be used!

Tips:

Use a good quality gluten-free self-raising flour blend for optimal results.
For extra citrus zing, use lemon-flavoured sparkling lemonade.
Feeling adventurous? Add a handful of chopped fresh berries or a sprinkling of chopped nuts to the dough.
Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to revive.

Conclusion:

Forget gluten limitations, these sparkling lemonade scones are proof that light, fluffy, and delicious treats can be accessible to everyone.
With minimal effort and maximum flavour, they're sure to become your new go-to for a quick and satisfying bake.
So pop the bubbles, whip up a batch, and embrace the fizzy fun of gluten-free scone perfection!
