From Lemonade To Beer Scones Recipes

FROM LEMONADE TO BEER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220C and line a baking sheet with baking paper. In a bowl, sift dry ingredients together
• In a separate bowl pour in Carbonara sauce or cream.
• Pour bottle of beer into carbonara and stir until well incorporated
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and gently fill with the beer mixture
• Fold everything together until combined then turn out onto a well floured board.
• Using well floured hands bring the scone dough together until you get a nice mound shape. Dont worry if the mixture feels more sticky than usual, this is just how it is so flour your hands and perservere!
• Pat the mound until you have a flattened 1 to 1 1/2 inch disc.
• Flour a sharp knife and cut dough into 12 pieces. Because the dough is so soft and sticky I always have trouble cutting my pieces. I end up with all sorts of shapes and sizes and I just call them beer nuggets. YOU will be much better at this than I am!
• Carefully place pieces onto the baking sheet and cook in a hot oven for 10-12 minutes. Serve with lashings of butter or a nice cream cheese topping (can anyone come up with a savoury version of jam and scones?!)
• Once you've made these a couple of times, you'll be able to tweak this recipe to your preference. Try adding a pinch or two (or 3!) of cayenne pepper and a cup of grated cheese! In this pic I used alfredo sauce and 1 cup strong cheese and sprinkled cheese on top.

LEMONADE SCONES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and either mould into scone shapes or roll out and use a cutter, or just cut into squares after rolling out.
• When sitting on the oven tray - place them close together so that they rise up higher and don't have crusts because they are all touching.
• Cook in a 200C oven for 15-20 minutes.

LEMONADE SCONES

Steps:

• Put the flour, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl and mix together. Gradually pour in the double cream and lemonade, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture comes together into a dough. Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth - be careful not to overwork it.
• Transfer the dough to a sheet of lightly floured baking parchment, then roll out to a 2cm thickness. Chill for 1 hr until slightly firm. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Take the dough out of the fridge and use a 6cm round cutter to stamp out 10 rounds. Try not to twist the cutter as you press it into the dough.
• Line a large baking tray with baking parchment, and arrange the scones on top, leaving space between each. Flip them over so the side that was touching the baking parchment when stamping them out is now on top. Carefully brush the tops with the beaten egg, making sure the glaze doesn't drip down the sides.
• Bake the scones for 12-14 mins, or until golden. Leave to cool on a wire rack, then serve.
