125ml1/2 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.
