Ingredients

2 tablespoons sugar plus 1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon finely-grated lemon peel

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, diced

1 cup dried sweetened cranberries

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

1/2 cup chilled half-and-half or more, divided

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Position rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in bowl for glaze.

Whisk flour, baking powder, lemon peel, salt, and 1 cup sugar in large bowl. Add chilled butter; using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Mix in cranberries and walnuts. Add 1/2 cup half and half and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss with fork until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more half and half if dough is dry.

Gather dough into ball; divide in half. Press out each half on floured surface to 6-inch-diameter (1-inch-high) round. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Transfer to baking sheet; brush with glaze.

Bake scones until golden and tester comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. I mix powdered sugar and cream together with a little lemon juice and drizzle over each scone!

Yields 12 scones.

These sound wonderful. I would probably use orange rather than lemon zest, but I wouldn't turn down one of these.

Well, I finally got around to trying these. I used orange zest, as I said, and I omitted the white chocolate and nuts, feeling that there was enough going on. Incidentally, I made only 1/4 of the recipe, and it still worked fine--nice sturdy recipe.

But. Their texture was velvety smooth, which has its charms, but I was hoping for something crumbly. Did I use too much liquid? handle the dough too much? What are yours like?
