Equipment
- Large bowl
- Flat blade knife
- 5cm pastry cutter or glass
- Baking tray
- Oven
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- 500 g 3 1/3 cups self-raising flour
- 250 ml 1 cup chilled lemonade
- 125 ml 1/2 cup milk (full-fat or skim, depending on your preference)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the chilled lemonade and milk.
- Use a flat blade knife to gently stir the wet and dry ingredients together until a soft, sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the scones tough.
- Lightly flour a surface and gently knead the dough for 30 seconds or until just smooth.
Don't overwork it! - Press the dough into a 3cm-thick disc. Use a 5cm pastry cutter or glass to cut out scones from the dough, re-rolling scraps if necessary.
- Place the scones close together on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown and risen. They should sound hollow when tapped on top.
- Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving warm.
