Instructions
Lemon Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With your mixer, combine the flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt until it resembles wet sand.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup of cream, 2 eggs, lemon zest and vanilla extract.
- Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Take the dough out of the bowl and form into a flat disc about 8 inches across and 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a large knife, cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the parchment paper.
- Make an egg wash with an egg and the 3 tablespoons of cream and brush the tops. Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
Strawberry Glaze
- In a food processor combine all ingredients into the glaze. Add more sugar for a thicker glaze. Drizzle on top of scones.
