Instructions

How to make Gluten free Lemonade Scones

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together flour, Baking powder, and sugar.
Add cream and lemonade to the flour and sugar mixture.
Fold in gently until fully combined and resembles dough but be sure not to over mix. (Lemonade scone dough will be soft and sticky).
Pour out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently as you don't want to overwork the dough.
Gently shape the dough into a disc shape around 3cm thick. Using a 2.5inch (6cm) cutter press straight down without twisting the cutter to make individual scones. ( I recommend coating the cutter in between cuts as the scone dough is quite sticky)
Place the scones carefully onto a lined baking sheet placing them close together with the sides of each scone slightly touching. (Keeping them close together will help them rise slightly).
Brush the top of each scone with a little milk. Place in the oven and bake for approx. 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Place on a cooling rack.
Serve with your preferred filling or glaze. (I recommend filling with fresh whipped cream and jam)
