A vibrant, zesty, chocolate twist on a simple scone recipe. Learn to make lemon and white chocolate scones, a perfect afternoon treat for the whole family.
Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan/gas mark 3).
Into a large bowl, add the self-raising flour and butter or plant-based margarine. Rub together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the caster sugar and mix gently to combine.
Add the white chocolate or plant-based white chocolate drops and the zest of the lemons into the mix. Mix until evenly distributed.
Add the juice of one-and-half lemons and ¾ of the semi-skimmed milk or plant-based milk into the dry mix. Mix until you have a dough that is soft, but not too sticky, adding the remaining milk if needed.
Tip the mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough until it's approximately 4cm thick. Use a 7cm straight-edged round cutter to cut out 12 scones. Re-roll the dough if needed.
Place the scones onto a lined baking tray and brush the tops with semi-skimmed milk or plant-based milk.
Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until risen and lightly coloured.
Leave to cool.
To finish, mix the icing sugar with the remaining juice of half a lemon to make a thick icing. Use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle the icing over the top of the scones and allow to set before serving.
