Ingredients

8 total
  • 350 g of plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder
  • 50 g of golden caster sugar
  • 175 ml of lemonade
  • 125 ml of double cream
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp of clotted cream, to serve
  • 1 tsp of blueberry jam, to serve

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the sugar. In a separate bowl or jug, mix the lemonade and double cream together, then gradually stir into the dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Lightly dust a work surface with flour, tip out the dough and knead briefly until smooth. Wrap and chill for 1 hr.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7 and line a large baking tray with baking paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 2cm thickness then use a 6cm cutter to stamp out as many rounds as you can. Gently place the rounds upside down on the lined tray, spacing them a little apart, then re-roll the trimmings and repeat.

  3. Step 3

    Brush the tops of the scones with a little beaten egg, taking care not to let it drip down the sides. Bake for 12-15 mins, or until risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, before serving with lashings of clotted cream and blueberry jam. The scones will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
