Notes
When making these easy lemonade scones (along with any other scone recipe) it’s really important to make sure you don’t mix the ingredients too much.
If you wish, you can brush a little milk over the top of the scones before baking, however this isn’t essential.
You can freeze your cooked scones for up to three months. Defrost and re-heat in the microwave in a brown paper bag.
Recipe Variations
Sugar Free Lemonade Scones
For a sugar free version you can use a sugar free lemonade. The result will not end up tasting quite as sweet as using full sugar, but still works well.
Scones With Soda Water
For an unsweetened Lemonade scone that don't taste sweet, but are still light and fluffy, substitute the lemonade with soda water.
You can also use soda water if you want to make a savoury batch of scones with cheese.
Lemonade Fruit Scones
Create lemonade fruit scones by using the lemonade scones without cream ingredients, then
Substitute the natural yoghurt for vanilla yoghurt.
Add ½ cup of dried fruit and 2 tbsp sugar to the dry ingredients. Here's some suggestions;
Then brush with lightly beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra sugar before baking.
These scones are best served warm but MUST be served with copious amounts of cream and jam. There’s just really no getting around that part. It’s like having a grilled cheese sandwich without cheese.
Serve warm halved and buttered, alongside a cup of tea or coffee
