If you're looking for a quick recipe for scones, this is for you. I love how fast it is to make; you would never guess the ingredients. Although the main ingredient is lemonade, you can't taste it.
I love making traditional scones in the Thermomix, but this recipe takes half the time, and you can't taste any difference.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Only three ingredients.
- Ready in less than half an hour, therefore ideal for unexpected guests.
- Perfect for afternoon tea.
Ingredients
Note: The total quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Self-raising flour - this makes the scones rise.
- Cream - full fat thickened or heavy cream has the best results.
- Lemonade - I use the cheap supermarket brand for 75 cents, which works well.
Step by Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Make the dough in the Thermomix, then tip it onto a lightly floured surface. To do this, hold the Thermomix upside down and twist the blade clockwise.
- Gently knead the dough into a ball, but try not to overwork the dough. Pat the dough down with your hands until 2.5-3cm thick. Cut out rounds with a round 6cm cutter dipped in flour.
- Transfer the scones to the baking tray carefully and lightly brush the tops with milk.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Top Tip
Placing the scones close to each other helps them to rise.
Variations
You could make fruit scones by adding sultanas or chopped dates.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with strawberry jam and cream, tangy lemon curd or simply butter.
Storage
You can keep the scones in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds. They also freeze well for up to three months.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Lemonade Scones (3-Ingredients)
Super simple scones made with three ingredients.
Ingredients
- 400g self-raising flour
- 170g thickened / heavy cream, not whipped
- 170g lemonade
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 220°C, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Add the flour to the Thermomix and mix for 5 sec/speed 5 to sift it.
- Add the cream and lemonade and knead for 1 minute/interval speed (knead function). It should now have come together. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and stir in any stray bits of mixture stuck to the side of the bowl.
- Tip the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a ball - don't overwork the dough, or the scones will be dense. Pat the dough down with your hands to a 2.5 - 3cm thickness.
- Cut out rounds with a 6cm pastry cutter and place them onto the baking tray. Dip the cutter in flour first so it doesn't stick to the dough. Brush the tops with a little milk—this gives them a lovely shine, but you can skip this step.
- Transfer the scones to the baking tray carefully and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy while they are still warm with cream, jam or lemon curd.
Notes
