Time 45m

Yield 8 to 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup shortening
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
yellow food coloring (optional)
grated lemon zest
slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • In a big bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; cut in the butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in lemon zest and blend.
  • In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and lemon juice; pour into flour mixture; mix until blended and moistened and a soft dough is formed.
  • Place dough on a floured work surface; knead 15-20 times and roll into a circle ¾-inch thick.
  • Place on baking sheet; score into 8-12 wedges with the point of a sharp knife.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown; cool slightly on wire rack; cut into wedges as marked and serve warm.
  • The glaze: in a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice; add in desired amount of food coloring (if using); drizzle over warm scones; sprinkle with lemon zest and almonds.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
