Lemon Scones Recipe


Lemon Scones Recipe
These aren't dry or crumbly or bland like so many scones can be - the lemony sweetness and texture is just right. Everyone asks for this recipe.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached white flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Grated zest of one lemon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the lemon zest and pecans.
  3. In a measuring cup, stir together heavy cream and lemon extract.
  4. Stir into dry ingredients until dough holds together in a rough mass.
  5. Do not overmix. The dough will be quite sticky.
  6. Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9 times.
  7. Pat into two circles about 6 inches round. Brush melted butter over the top and side of the circle of dough and sprinkle the sugar on top.
  8. Cut each circle into 6 wedges and place pieces on an ungreased baking sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces.
  9. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown

I can hardly wait to try this. I love the lemons and the pecans in this. I can imagine how nice this would be for breakfast with a good cup of coffee. I love lemon curd too, so a dollop of that when they come out of the oven will be delightful. Great post..thanks!
