Lemon Cream Scones

Doesn't the smell of lemons just brighten your day? I love lemons and I love scones. So of course I had to put the two together and it turned out divine.

These little babies are so delicious hot out of the oven with a glass of cold milk or you can kick it up a notch and drizzle this silky lemon glaze over top. Either way I'm pretty sure these will not disappoint.

So wash them mitts, lets get cookin'.

Lemon Cream Scones

2c flour

4tbsp sugar

2 1/2tsp baking powder

1/2tsp salt

4tbps butter

2/3c heavy cream

1/4c fresh lemon juice

zest of 4 lemons

extra sugar to sprinkle on top

Preheat oven to 425F. In a food processor or large bowl combine all dry ingredients and lemon zest.  Add in cold butter and either use a pastry cutter and cut into the dry mixture or pulse on the food processor, until the butter is in small rice size pieces. Slowly add in the cream and lemon juice and mix until it is combined evenly.  Remove from bowl or processor and shape into a long rectangle. Cut diagonally to form triangles then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.  Remove and enjoy or wait for them to cool slightly and drizzle with this glaze.

Lemon Glaze

1/4c lemon juice

1/2-3/4c icing sugar

Whisk together both ingredients and drizzle over warm scone. Enjoy!
