Lemony Cranberry Hazelnut Scones with Lemon Glaze image

I make these for teachers for Valentine's Day, but they are wonderful any day of the week. They are tender and flaky and lemony. You can use dried cranberries (which I do) and leave out the nuts if you'd like. The glaze is wonderful, and I haven't found a person who doesn't just love these scones.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup cold unsalted butter
⅓ cup fresh cranberries
¼ cup chopped hazelnuts
2 eggs
½ cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut unsalted butter into flour mixture with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cranberries and hazelnuts.
  • Beat 2 eggs and buttermilk together with a fork in a small bowl; add egg mixture to flour mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together and is just moistened. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Turn dough out on a lightly-floured surface and pat dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut circle in half with a sharp knife and cut each half into four sections. Gently transfer each section with a floured spatula to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk 1 egg and cream together in a small bowl. Brush egg-cream mixture over each scone.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the scones are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl until desired glaze consistency is reached. Drizzle glaze over warm scones.

These scones were really good, but they were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would use more baking powder next time.
