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.

Notes

Tips:
  • You can substitute the milk with buttermilk or yoghurt for a tangier flavour.
  • For extra buttery goodness, add a pat of softened butter to the top of each scone before baking.
  • Feeling adventurous? Add a handful of chopped dried fruit or grated lemon zest to the dough.
  • Leftover scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to revive them.

Conclusion:

These fluffy scones are a testament to the magic of simple ingredients and creative baking.
Forget complicated recipes and expensive cream - all you need is a can of bubbly and a dash of butter to whip up these scrumptious delights.
So go forth, fizz your way to scone glory, and savour every bite of this bubbly-infused bliss!
