These delightfully light scones require only three simple ingredients: self-rising flour, lemon-flavoured soda, and heavy cream. They come together quickly for a speedy breakfast treat. The lemon soda adds a subtle citrus note to the tender crumb. Once baked until golden, serve them warm with accompaniments like whipped cream and berry jam for a classic finish.

3-Ingredient Lemon Scones

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup lemon-flavored soda
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Method

  1. Set your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray and giving it a light dusting of flour.
  2. Sift the self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl. In a separate jug, mix the lemon soda and heavy cream together, then pour this over the flour. Stir until the dough just comes together. Tip the dough onto your prepared sheet. With floured hands, gently pat it into a large rectangle, being careful not to overwork it. Cut the dough into triangles or squares.
  3. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake until the scones are golden, which should take 10 to 12 minutes.
