Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free self-rising flour
• 150 milliliters Lemonade (sweetened, carbonated)
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 grams Gluten-free flour (for dusting)
• 1 small amount Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C (350°F) if using a fan-forced oven.

Step 2

Lightly grease a baking tray with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with baking paper.

Step 3

Place the gluten-free self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Create a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the lemonade and heavy cream.

Step 5

Gently mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the scones dense.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface with the gluten-free flour for dusting, and turn the dough out onto it.

Step 7

Knead the dough gently until it comes together smoothly, but do not overwork it.

Step 8

Pat or roll the dough out to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thickness.

Step 9

Using a round cutter or the rim of a glass (about 6 cm or 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out individual scones and gently place them onto the prepared baking tray. Press the cutter straight down without twisting for the best rise.

Step 10

Re-roll the scraps of dough as needed to cut out additional scones, but handle the dough as little as possible.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the scones lightly with a little extra heavy cream for a golden finish, if desired.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and turned a light golden color.

Step 13

Allow the scones to cool slightly on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 14

Serve warm with your favorite gluten-free jam and a dollop of cream, or enjoy plain with a cup of tea.
