Lemonade Surprise Scones | Teatime Treat Recipe

These unbelievably simple scones come together in minutes and are bursting with refreshing lemonade flavor. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a delightful afternoon tea, they're light, fluffy, and packed with fruity sweetness.
Ingredients:
450g self-raising flour
1 can (375ml) fizzy lemonade (such as Sprite)
250g sultanas
Instructions:
1.Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, fizzy lemonade, and sultanas.
2.Form dough: Using your hands, bring the mixture together to form a soft dough.
3.Shape and cut: Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to approximately 2.5cm thickness. Use a 5cm cookie cutter to cut out scones.
4.Bake: Place scones on a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
5.Serve: Enjoy warm with butter and jam, or on their own.
Notes:
For a richer flavour, use Greek yogurt instead of the entire can of lemonade.
Experiment with different dried fruits or chocolate chips.
For a slightly sweeter treat, add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
These scones are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a short time.

Wellll, as a hybridised Brit-Aussie, I grew up in the 1950’s/60’s with scones a staple - and I make them at least once every few weeks. I thought I’d give your recipe a go, but my gut said no…I should have listened to my gut. But hey, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained,”… eh? The effervescence of the “bubbly” and its sugar content left a most disagreeable aftertaste in the mouth. The grandchildren weren’t too keen on them either…so, back to tried and true-blue English scones that my mum made with eggs, butter & cream for the wet, and for the dry; flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 3 tbsps. of caster sugar and then adding when mixed, anything from sultanas to sun dried blueberries. As Pooh Bear was wont to say, “Yummy in my tummy!” Cheers!

Thanks for trying the recipe. This recipe is definitely for young people when made with fizzy drinks. Lemonade scones, especially without cream is, has always been a continental scone created for the fast modern lifestyle. The classic old scones, called buttermilk scones, was created on farms with the buttermilk from the turning of butter. Later on came all kind of recipes for scones and eggs was added to add more protein. In Australia the scones went through many divergent ways of making scones. So wherever I have made scones, people decide what scones they like and everybody has a favourite. In 2012 a made s different scone every working in a period called "The World Of Scones". Beside this scone ruclips.net/video/hgaGDu-QQmo/видео.html I made every scone idea people came up with and it was fun. Or maybe try the new scone being released today "Hot Cross Scones".😊😋

The Brits and their friends call Sprite lemonade. It's not what Americans think of lemonade . And sultanas are raisons.

Thanks for your comment. I meant to write fizzy bought lemonade such as America's Schweppes lemonade. Raisins are made using green seedless grapes and they are mostly sundried without any additives and preservatives. In the US, sultanas are referred to as “golden raisins” or “sultana raisins.” These grapes are treated with a preservative called sulfur dioxide to retain the lighter color of the grape. Sultanas are typically smaller than raisins and are sweeter, juicer and lighter in color than raisins.@@junaid1
