LEMON SCONES



Lemon Scones image

These sunny lemon scones are perfect for breakfast or to enjoy as a treat in the afternoon with a cup of tea.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Bread Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 8 Scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tbsp. packed finely grated lemon zest plus 1 to 2 tablespoons juice from 2 large lemons
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, frozen
1 large egg
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and massage them together using your fingertips. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk until well combined.
  • Using the large holes of a box grater, grate frozen butter into dry ingredients; using a fork, toss together until butter shreds are coated. In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk egg into 3/4 cup cream until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
  • Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Gather dough together and pat into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Brush tops with remaining tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let cool then using a spatula, transfer scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adding more lemon juice by the 1/2 teaspoon as needed until it has a thick glaze consistency, similar to honey. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over cooled scones; let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon and lime zest for the best flavor. Avoid using store-bought zest, as it will not be as flavorful.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • If you want to make the scones ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the scones on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer them to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the scones overnight in the refrigerator and then bake them according to the recipe instructions.

Conclusion:

Lemon lime scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a bright citrus flavor. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these scones are sure to be a hit.
