Ingredients

2 cups unbleached flour

2 Tbl sugar

1 Tbl baking powder

grated zest of 2 lemons

1/4 tsp salt

4 Tbl (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

2 large eggs

1/2 cup heavy Cream

Topping, if desired

1/2 tsp cinnamon mixed with 2 Tbl sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 400

Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment or a silicone sheet

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt.

Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a heavy duty mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream

Add to dry mixture and stir until a sticky dough is formed

Turn this shaggy looking dough out onto a lightly floured board

Knead gently, just until dough holds together, about 6 times

Divide into 3 equal portions and pat each into a 1" thick round that is about 6" in diameter

With a knife or straightedge, cut each round into quarters, creating 4 wedges

Place the scones about 1" apart on the prepared sheet

sprinkle with topping if desired

Bake in the center of the oven until crusty and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes

Serve immediately with butter and jam or cool on a rack and freeze in heavy duty freezer bags for up to a month.
