Ingredients

TOPPING:

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

SCONE:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

2 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold butter

1/3 cup half and half

2 eggs

2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in half and half, eggs and lemon zest just until moistened.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 8 times OR until smooth, adding only enough flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking.

Pat dough into a 9" circle on a greased baking sheet.

Sprinkle topping evenly over dough.

Score circle into 8 wedges with knife but DO NOT separate.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes OR until lightly browned.

Cool 10 minutes.

Carefully separate scones.

These really look good and I never really stopped to think about how good lemon and cornmeal go well together.
Thanks for sharing this with me.
I also love all the groups you belong to. I've searched the groups many times and haven't seen "Biscuits and Scones" or "Muffins, Quick Breads, Scones and Biscuits" before.

Thanks a bunch!
