Easy Glazed Lemon Scones
Imagine this: Your kitchen smells like a sunny lemon grove, and you have fresh scones sitting on your counter waiting to be devoured. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and give it a little love with some non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This is the dry team; they’re super important!
- Next, throw in the cold cubed butter and blend using a pastry cutter or your trusty fingers until it resembles course crumbs. Just think about how much that butter loves all that flour!
- Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. This wet team needs to mingle for a minute.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir gently; we’re not trying to create a tornado here, just a beautiful dough. If it seems a bit crumbly, that’s okay! We want it to be satisfying when you knead it.
- On a floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut into 8 wedges (or more, if you’re feeling generous). Place them on the prepared baking sheet and pop them into the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Your kitchen will smell like heaven, and you might even dance a little!
- While they are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a zesty glaze. Drizzle this over your warm scones and behold the magic!
- Serve these thus-fabulous scones with your favorite drink (I mean, they practically scream for tea). Enjoy the lemony goodness!
And there you have it, friends! Easy Glazed Lemon Scones that are perfect for that brunch gathering or just a sunny afternoon treat. Happy baking!
