These lemon scones are so delicious. They melt in your mouth! This recipe came about after much trial and error as I tried to create the amazing scones I used to get in a bakery back home. I think I’ve got it right!
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.
