These Lemon Scones inspired by The Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin were so much easier than I had expected and even more delicious! Try them yourself!
Ingredients:
For the Scones:
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- Lemon Zest, from one large lemon
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 8 tablespoons Butter, frozen
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Using your fingertips, mix together. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Using largest holes on a box grater, grate frozen butter. Add to flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, combine egg and buttermilk and mix well. Pour into flour mixture. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using hands, shape dough into a ball, making sure to fold in all the loose clumps.
- Shape into a 7 inch circle, approximately 3/4 inch thick, and cut into 8 equal pieces. With space between each triangle, place on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden. Allow scones to cool and prepare glaze.
- In a small bowl, combine all of the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones and allow glaze to harden.
