Categories     Scones

Time 30m

Yield 12 large scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F.
  • Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Stir together ¾ cup cream and vanilla and add to dough.
  • Mix just until dough comes together.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough twice to an inch thick, each time folding in half (this is the secret to a flaky scone).
  • Roll dough to ¾-1 inch thick and cut desired shapes.
  • Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining cream.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until tops are nicely browned.

These scones were a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but the scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I had high hopes for these scones, but I was disappointed. The scones were dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable.

These scones were a delightful treat! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced, and the scones were light and fluffy. I added a glaze made with lemon juice and powdered sugar, which gave them an extra touch of sweetness.
