Melt the day away
Lemon Scones
10 oz of AP Flour
1 3/4 ounces of sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
4 lemons, zested
4 oz of cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of sugar
Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Add in the cubed butter and stir to coat the butter with flour. Using a pastry blender cut into the butter until they become the size of small peas. Add in the heavy cream and lemon juice stir to combine. Once it starts to come together into a dough, turn it out onto a floured board and knead it a few times until it completely comes together. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick and cut as desired. I used a big square cookie cutter and then sliced them in half to get nice triangles, but they can be made into any shape. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until they are light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and serve.
These do not really keep that well so they are best served the same day.
