Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 220ยฐC (425ยฐF).
- Combine the self-raising flour, caster sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are well mixed.
- Add the thickened cream and lemonade to the dry ingredients, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead it lightly until it comes together.
- Gently press the dough with your hands, patting it down until it’s approximately 3/4 inch thick.
- Using a round cutter, cut out 8 scones from the dough.
- Arrange the scones on a baking tray, leaving space between each one. Brush the tops with a little milk for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
- Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm with a dollop of cream and your favorite jam, or enjoy them plain for a delightful snack.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest to the dough.
- Be sure not to overwork the dough, as this can result in tough scones. Handle it gently for the best texture.
- If you prefer sweeter scones, you can increase the amount of sugar slightly to suit your taste.
- These scones are best enjoyed fresh on the day of baking, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
