Lemon Scones
I know that posting a scone recipe is no surprise for me. However this is ane of my tricks, I actually believe that you don't demand a ane one one thousand thousand unlike recipes, but a few that you lot tin modify each flavor or occasion. These scones are the simplest that I brand (except perchance vanilla?). Just a basic recipe with a petty lemon zest, thus smothered inwards a buttery lemon glaze.
Do you lot desire to know the best agency to bask this? Before you lot position the glaze on, spell it inwards one-half as well as smear blackberry or strawberry jam, thus position the piece of occupation past times dorsum on thus piece of occupation past times amongst the glaze... slap-up for dessert.
8 scones
2 cups addition 1/4 loving cup flour
1/4 loving cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bounding main salt
12 tablespoons mutual frigidity unsalted butter, small-scale diced
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 loving cup mutual frigidity heavy cream
1 tablespoon of lemon zest
.....1 loving cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons of butter
fresh lemon juice
In a mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking pulverization as well as tabular array salt using the paddle attachment. Cut the mutual frigidity butter into 1/2 inch pieces. Add the butter to the dry out ingredients as well as mix on depression until the butter is mixed inwards as well as is the size of peas.
In a dissever bowl, mix together eggs whipping cream as well as lemon zest amongst a fork.
Turn the mixer on depression as well as slow add together the cream as well as egg mixture. Turn off the mixer ane time combined - don't overmix.
Put to a greater extent than or less flour on the counter. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Add to a greater extent than or less flour onto the piece of occupation past times of the dough, thus pat it out into a large circle - almost 7-8 inches inwards diameter.

Line a Large Baking Sheet (for baking 6-8) or a Small Baking Sheet (for baking 2-4) amongst a canvas of Parchment Paper. I used Natural Parchment here.
Bake at 400 degrees for 13-16 minutes.
To brand the glaze, melt butter. Add powdered sugar. Squeeze inwards lemon juice. I role a Small Mesh Strainer to select handgrip of the seeds as well as pulp. It should travel sparse plenty to pour, but non also thick to run everywhere. Thicker the ameliorate - the warm scones volition melt it a little. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones. This is something I've ever watched The Barefoot Contessa use, as well as for to a greater extent than or less argue never picked on up. Each fourth dimension I made a uncomplicated lemon vinaigrette or glaze, I constitute myself picking out the lemon seeds or trying to strain it though my fingers. Since I got this a span of weeks ago, I've used it several times - makes the business that much easier. While I don't similar also many specialty items, this is a uncomplicated tool that seems to travel worth it.
