Lemon Scones Recipe

	Lancer / All my dishes 6 months ago 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. Prep:10m Cook:20m Servings:12	Lancer

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

Preheat oven to 425°.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the lemon zest and pecans.

In a measuring cup, stir together heavy cream and lemon extract.

Stir into dry ingredients until dough holds together in a rough mass.

Do not overmix. The dough will be quite sticky.

Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9 times.

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.

Cut each circle into 6 wedges and place pieces on an ungreased baking sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces.

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!
