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 shopping list
- 1/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- Grated zest of one lemon shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract shopping list
- 1 tablespoon melted butter shopping list
- 1 tablespoon sugar shopping list
How to make it
- 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
