For hundreds of years, scones have been a simply made baked good savoured by rich and poor. We’re most used to the sweet variety, but savoury scones are pretty popular! These are made with more savoury cheese, cream, and even shredded meat bits… Arguably, these treats are best served with a dollop of cream and some fresh jam or preserve whilst sitting in a garden, reading a book or having a cuppa – preferably all three at once! Sometimes I like to just eat them plain and enjoy the damper-like taste. Using lemonade like in this lemonade scones recipe gives the dough a bit more sweetness and a hint of lemony zest that improves them a great deal!

It’s so much fun to bake scones as a kid (and even as an adult). But when you pull those steaming petrified rocks out of the oven your heart sinks. All that work for some dense and unenjoyable scones! Amazingly, lemonade and its carbonated fizz helps fluff up your dough and aerate the scones. This scones made using this lemonade scones recipe are fluffy, airy, delicious balls of warmth. There are in fact many recipes floating around the internet that use lemonade as a form of baking powder to fluff up cakes, cupcakes, muffins and more! There’s even a cake mix I’ve used in one of the main supermarkets that has ‘just add lemonade!’ on the front cover.
