Scones, strawberries and cream - Real Recipes from Mums

If you’re looking for a healthy light scone, look no further than this recipe from Summer TABLE – ready in less than 20 minutes with no mess or fuss.

Ingredients (serves 4)

200 grams spelt flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
⅓ cup cream
⅓ cup lemonade (room temperature)
extra flour
milk or beaten egg for glazing
300 ml thick cream
250 grams strawberries, sliced

Method

Preheat oven to 210C. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Add cream and lemonade to the flour and gently mix until soft and sticky. Be careful not to over-mix, 3–4 stirs should do it.
On a board dusted with flour, turn the dough out and pat into shape (about 3 cm high). Using a round 5–6 cm cookie cutter cut out scones. Do not twist the cutter, just push. Place onto a baking tray (lined with greaseproof paper and dusted with a tablespoon of flour), so the scones are touching each other. Glaze tops with a little milk, and bake in the top rack of the oven for 12–15 minutes.
Serve while scones are still warm with a dollop of cream and a layer of sliced strawberries.

Notes

For a decadent ladies morning tea, try using champagne instead of lemonade! Of course you can't let the rest of the bottle go to waste!

One of my favourite – Scones, strawberries and cream. They always taste so good especially with that dollop of cream.

My Mum used to make lemonade Scones. Different brands of lemonade give different tastes.

Haven’t had scones in so long. I could never make them light and fluffy like my Nanna did. These sound like they would be perfect so will certainly be giving them a go

An absolute all-time favourite, still! I haven’t made scones in such a long time, but love to opt for a devonshire tea (or latte) when I’m out.

Love scones, and they are pretty easy, and even if you can’t perfect the look, they always taste delish.

Love the fact that his recipe makes a small amount – I don’t want to cook enough scones for the school fete and that’s usually the size of the recipes.
