Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp lemon zest, grated
1/3 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
2/3 c heavy cream
2/3 tsp vanilla extract
OPTIONAL TOPPING
lemon juice
sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 375. Grease a baking sheet and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like crumbs.
  • 3. Slowly pour the cream into the bowl with the flour/butter mixture. Add the vanilla. Stir everything until just combined.
  • 4. Roll out dough on a floured surface, fold in half and repeat. Roll out for a third time into a circle about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Place on baking sheet. Score into 8 wedges.
  • 5. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until scones test done with a toothpick.
  • 6. OPTIONAL: One of our favorite ways to top scones is by mixing together some lemon juice and/or zest with some sweetened condensed milk and drizzling on top of hot scones. If you don't want to do this, they taste wonderful when served with butter as well.
