Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup cold butter
- 2/3 cup cream
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, whisk them together, and then add the zest in.
- Take your cold butter and pre-slice it a bit to help you blend it in. Then take your pastry blender and cut the butter in until it's crumbly.
- Beat your egg and then add it to the cream.
- Add in your lemon juice, which is going to sour the cream so don't worry when it curdles.
- Take the cream mixture and combine it with the dry ingredients until just mixed in.
- When combined, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. You can make a rectangle or square and cut it into 8-12 pieces. Whatever shape you make, make them 1 inch thick. Place each scone on a baking sheet with two inches of space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven until risen and browned on top, about 17-20 minutes.
- Enjoy plain or with jam, or even better use them for classic strawberry shortcake.
Notes
- Nutritional values will depend on how large you make the scones.
