Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F..
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl using food processor.
  • Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles pebbles OR use a pastry blender OR you hands.
  • Pulse in sugar.
  • Add half and half, vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  • Pulse until dough just comes together.
  • Don't overmix.
  • If batter is too dry, add half and half a little at a time.
  • Turn dough onto floured parchment and divide into two pieces.
  • Roll one piece to 1/2" thick 9x9" (roughly) square.
  • Keep dough from sticking by sprinkling with flour, if necessary.
  • Slather the slab of dough with the jam and fold the left side toward the center using parchment as an aid.
  • Fold other side in using the same technique.
  • Slide onto prepared pan.
  • Repeat with other dough ball.
  • Both scones will fit on the same baking sheet, with a few inches between.
  • Brush with a bit of cream (optional).
  • Bake for about 25 minutes OR until golden on the bottoms.
  • Prepare glaze, if using:
  • Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest in small bowl.
  • When scones come out of the oven brush them generously with the glaze and let cool.
  • Slice into pieces as big or as small as you like.

    I wonder just what it is about scones that makes them so wonderfully delectable. Could it be that crunchy outside and tender innards? Glad you liked this ad!
