Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
⅓ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold butter, cut into pieces
9 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons vinegar
2 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup butter, melted
2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture until moistened; turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead dough briefly for 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1 inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedges and arrange on a baking sheet leaving 1 inch between each wedge.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bottom edges are lightly tan, 11 to 14 minutes. Allow scones to cool for 15 minutes.
  • While scones are cooling, stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 2 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture is easily drizzled.
  • Drizzle glaze over warm scones.
