These are wonderful!!!!! And just the kick I needed for yesterday afternoon. And the one I wanted this morning!
Thanks to my SIL who turned me on to scones a year or so ago. This is now my go to recipe when making scones. I have used the same recipe for a few different scones. And it has worked out so far with all.
-Cranberry(the original recipe she gave me)
-Mini chocolate
-Tea cakes/scones(just a tad sweeter)
And now LEMON!!!!
I think these would be perfect with tea!!!
The boys were drooling when they came out of the oven! They had to try one. So I obliged. Right after I took them out I added the glaze to one and we all tried it. They loved it!!
I allowed the rest to cool down and then added the glaze.
Lemon Scones
Ingredients:
1-3/4c. flour
1/4 heaping cup of sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4tsp. of salt
zest of 1 big lemon
1c. heavy whipping cream( I have used half and half and was sorry I did! Stick to the heavy whipping cream)
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix dry ingredients
together. Stir in lemon zest. Add cream, stirring just until soft dough forms.
If too wet, add extra flour 1Tbsp. at a time. On floured surface, gently knead
dough 5-6 times. Place on greased cookie sheet and pat into an 8" circle. Score
into 8 wedges, gently separating. Sprinkle top with sugar. Bake 15-20 min. or
until golden brown.
Allow scones to cool and begin making glaze.
Lemon Glaze:
1 cup powered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Mix all together. Drizzle glaze on scones.
Now sit back and enjoy the goodness!!!!! Happy Saturday!

Well, I must say they look wonderful! I helped a friend make lots of scones for a graduation tea this morning, and enjoyed a red velvet scone afterwards. Glad you enjoy them as much as we do. Lauren insist on us having Lavender in our lemon scones.
I eat scones whenever I get the chance...that's a very rare occasion. These look great!
