Lemon Scones Recipe

I may have made a few great Lemon Scones Recipe before, but that doesn’t keep me from wanting to try new scone recipes!

Maybe I am out of practice, but I had to add a bit of milk to the dough to get it to come together correctly. I haven’t made any scone recipes for awhile (can you believe it?) but here I am once again.

These had a really great flavor. I must have used all the powdered sugar at Christmas so I wasn’t able to use a glaze–even so, the boys and I ate almost all of them up ourselves! I found this at AllRecipes.

• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1/3 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 Cup Cold Butter, cut into pieces
• 9 Tablespoons Milk
• 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 2 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Vinegar
• 2 Cups Powdered Sugar

• 2 Tablespoons Water, or as needed

Instructions

1. 350* oven.
2. Combine Sugar, Baking Power, Baking Soda, and Salt.
3. Cut in Cold Butter with pastry blender until mixture is cut into coarse crumbs.
4. Whisk together Milk, 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest, and Vinegar in a small bowl. Stir into Flour mixture until moistened.
5. Turn out onto lightly floured surface.
6. Knead dough 5 times then roll or pat into 1" thick round.
7. Using a pizza cutter (it really speeds things up!), cut into 10 wedges and arrange, leaving a 1" gap between, on a baking sheet.
8. Bake 11-15 minutes or until bottom edges are lightly tan.
9. Cool for 15 minutes (or less if you are not using the glaze recipe).
10. Meanwhile, combine Powdered Sugar, Melted Butter, 2 1/2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, and Vanilla Extract in a bowl until smooth.
11. Stir Water into mixture 1 Tablespoon at a time or until glaze is correct drizzling consistency.
12. Drizzle glaze over warm scones.

Notes

We had to add in more milk--the dough would not come together.
