The Groovy Food Company has unveiled a twist on the classic British scone by incorporating pink lemonade into the dough, resulting in tender, sweet scones ready in just 12-14 minutes. The recipe yields eight scones and is designed for easy entertaining, picnics, and al fresco occasions during Wimbledon season.
Unusual Ingredient: Pink Lemonade
Instead of traditional milk or buttermilk, the recipe uses 125ml of pink lemonade mixed with whipping cream. This addition not only adds sweetness but also contributes to the scones' light, fluffy texture. The recipe also includes 50g of coconut sugar and 100g of frozen raspberries for a fruity, tangy flavor.
Simple Method for Perfect Scones
The method is straightforward: mix dry ingredients, combine with the lemonade-cream mixture, knead in frozen raspberries, roll to 3cm thickness, cut with a 5cm cutter, brush tops with a cream-lemonade glaze, and bake at 220°C (fan 200°C) for 12-14 minutes until risen and lightly browned. The scones can be stored for up to three days and gently warmed before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the scones warm, split, and topped with whipped cream and raspberry jam. According to The Groovy Food Company, the scones are best fresh but can be made ahead and refreshed in a low oven. The recipe is simple enough to involve children in the kitchen.
