3 Ingredient Lemonade Scones Recipe

Thanks to my ongoing compulsion to buy strawberries every single time I see them while they are so cheap, we recently made strawberry jam for the very first time in an attempt to use up the KILOS of strawberries sitting in our fridge.  To celebrate this important first, it only seemed right to try it out with these yummy Lemonade Scones!  Instead of using my favourite scone recipe, I decided try this 3 ingredient Lemonade Scone recipe instead, after all how can you go wrong with just three ingredients?!

3 Ingredient Lemonade Scone Recipe

All you need to make these scones is some self raising flour, lemonade and cream – yep that’s really it! Because you don’t need to rub butter into the flour, these 3 ingredient Lemonade  Scones really take no time at all to make, and it took me less than 10 minutes to get out the ingredients, make the scone dough and get these into the oven.

I personally think that the texture is a little different to a traditional scone, but certainly not in a bad way and these Lemonade Scones are incredibly light and fluffy still – and when you consider how easy these are to make, who would complain?

3 Ingredient Lemonade Scones

When making these Lemonade Scones (along with any other scone recipe) it’s really important to make sure you don’t mix the ingredients too much, I like to use a butter knife to mix the ingredients until they have just combined and I also don’t use a rolling pin to flatten the dough, instead using my hands to gently flatten it – you can find more of my tips for making the perfect scones here.

This 3 Ingredient Lemonade Scones recipe is seriously simple and you will love how soft and fluffy these scones are!

Course: Snacks
Servings: 10
Author: Lauren

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of self raising flour
  • 250 ml of lemonade
  • 250 ml of thickened cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 240 degrees and line a baking tray with paper.
  • Sift the self raising flour into a large bowl and add the lemonade and cream.
  • Use a butter knife to bring the mixture together until it just combines.
  • Tip the scones mixture onto a floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle.
  • Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out your scones and place them onto the prepared tray. Repeat until you have used all of the scone dough.
  • Place your 3 ingredient scones into the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes or until golden and cooked through - they will sound hollow when tapped.
  • Carefully remove your scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving with your favourite jam and whipped cream

Notes

Take care not to over mix the Lemonade Scone mixture as this will result in hard scones.

Please note your cooking time may vary depending on the size of your scones. It’s a good idea to check them after 10 minutes in the oven.  You can also brush the tops of your uncooked scones with a little milk if you would like them have a bit of extra colour.

    I always have had a soft spot in my heart for scones. . .so I am completely blown away that you can make these with only 3 ingredients. They look absolutely divine. . .and topped with that homemade jam. . .well let’s just say I am in love.

    It’s pretty amazing isn’t it.
    I made these earlier in the year with mum. She has a standard recipe that she has used since I was a kid, and its all about the feel and nothing to do with accurate measures. But we gave these a go and they were yum and so easy.
    I love scones they just take me back to my childhood.

    Do you mean 240C for baking temp? I baked at 240F and it took over twenty minutes. Did I do something wrong?

    Simple is sometimes best…..Try Ginger Scones – Blokes Like Them

    Swap lemonade for Dry Ginger Ale….Add some shavings of Glaze Ginger…serve with Ginger Jam or Marmalade…dob of double cream.

    Yes Barb soda water works just as well instead of lemonade just means they aren’t as sweet but still amazing you can grate some cheese on the top for a more savoury scone or just use the jam & whipped cream on them also , I prefer the soda water as I don’t like very sweet scones

    I found a good process was to make the whipped cream first and pop it in the fridge that way it can ‘set’ a little before using

    These are a quick and easy fav for my kids they love cutting them out

    HI LAura,

    I have just made your 3 ingredient lemonade scones, and I thought I would make them savoury instead, so I added 2tspns of powdered mustard and a cup of shredded cheese to the flour and mixed it through before I added the liquids. I also topped them with a bit of cheese too and they have turned out fabulously. You will get a few more out of the mix because of the cheese. I am in cheese scone heaven. Thank you

    Very quick and easy to make, and tasty. However, these are not as tasty and satisfying as a traditional, Scottish, scone. I’ll use this recipe if I need something fast, but I wont be switching from my usual recipe, otherwise.
