Ingredients

Glaze

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/3 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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Make the scones: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough is moistened.

Step 3
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedge-shaped pieces; arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until bottom edges are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool scones on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

Step 5
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a glaze; drizzle glaze over warm scones.
