Butter; Spreading real butter o your freshly-baked lemonade scones is a great way to enhance their flavour and add some extra richness to the overall dish. The butter also helps keep the scones moist, so they can last longer when stored in an air tight container.
Consider pairing with honey or preserves for added sweetness.
Cream Cheese; Another way to enjoy your lemonade scones is with cream cheese spread over them. Cream cheese has a slightly tangy taste that complements the sweet and tartness of the lemonade scones perfectly.
Toast up your scone, top it with cream cheese, and you've got yourself a fantastic snack!
Jam; A classic favourite combination with scones is pairing them with jam for added sweetness and tartness.
Go for strawberry or raspberry for fruity sweetness and apricot jam for an even richer flavour Both are delicious options that go very well with the light flavour of lemonade scone recipes.
Whipped Cream; Give your lemonade scones some extra fluff by topping them off with whipped cream!
Try using vegan friendly whipped creams, such as coconut cream or other plant based milks like cashew milk or oat milk, whisked together until thick and creamy. All perfect for dolloping onto those freshly made treats! Drizzle on some honey or chocolate sauce or a dollop of jam if desired!
Tea; Nothing pairs better with these yummy little pastries than a hot cup of tea. Whether it be herbal chamomile tea, lapsang souchong tea, earl grey, green tea..the list goes on!
The warmth will balance out the flavours from the treat brilliantly and make you feel like you're having a proper afternoon tea session too (minus all the other fancy stuff!).
Lemon Curd; This delicious citrusy spread adds brightness and zest to any dessert - especially those made from lemons! Spread some thick thickly over each scone (or melt it in between) before serving just before tucking in..you won't regret it!
Plus it's vegan friendly too if you stock up on dairy free substitutes - try those made from coconut or soymilk instead!
Yoghurt & Berries; Finish off these fragrant delights with yoghurt and loads of colourful berries such as strawberries, blueberries raspberries etc! This balanced mix between tartness from yoghurt & sweet juicy goodness from each berry adds another level of summer loving sunshine energy into your next kitchen creations.
