lemon scones recipe

These Lemon Poppy Seed Scones are the perfect spring and summer treat! They are loaded with the perfect lemon flavor and topped with an irresistible glaze!&nbsp;

Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

all purpose flour

sugar

poppy seeds

baking powder

salt

butter,

eggs,

vanilla extract

almond extract

lemon zest

butter, melted

lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (parchment paper is fine too). Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor add flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt. Pulse for 3 seconds just to combine the ingredients. Add the butter. Do 3-1 second pulses. You still want to have chunks of butter. So don't over do it. Alternatively, you can use a pastry blender to cut in the butter if you don't want to use a food processor. (I just like that it's fast and easy!) Empty the flour mixture into a big bowl.&nbsp;

Add the eggs, yogurt, vanilla, almond extract, and lemon zest to the flour mixture. Stir to combine everything. (I like to use a fork at the beginning and then resort to my hands, it's easier). The dough will be slightly sticky, but not much.&nbsp;

On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a circle that's 1 inch in height. Using a knife, cut 8 wedges. Place the wedges on the baking sheet.

Using a pastry brush, gently brush each scone with the melted butter.&nbsp;

Bake for 18-21 minutes or until lightly golden brown along the edges.&nbsp;

While they are baking, make the glaze. Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix to combine.&nbsp;

Remove scones from the oven and let cool for 3 minutes on the pan, and then move to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze overtop each scone. *

Let glaze set. Enjoy! Store in an airtight container for 3 days.&nbsp;

Lemon scones are a delightful treat suitable for any time of the day. Whether you crave a sweet breakfast, a mid-day snack, or a dessert, lemon scones make an excellent choice. Their vibrant citrus flavor and crumbly texture are perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.

all-purpose flour

cold, cubed butter

heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add lemon zest.

In a separate bowl, whisk lemon juice, heavy cream, and egg.

Combine wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Shape into a circle, cut into wedges, and bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Buttery Lemon Scones are citrusy and moist with a tender crumb. The scone dough is just the right balance of sweet and tart, and you’ll love the fresh lemon glaze!

Lemon Scones

sugar ((67 grams))

lemon zest ((about 2 lemons))

all-purpose flour ((240 grams))

baking soda

unsalted butter (cubed (113 grams))

buttermilk ((120 mL))

sugar ((60 grams))

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Massage the mixture with your fingers to infuse the sugar with the lemon oils until the sugar color is light yellow. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold butter until the pieces are no larger than the size of peas.

In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup of buttermilk, the egg, and vanilla. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir together using a fork or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice to bring the dough together. Press the dough into a 7½-inch round (about ¾-inch thick) disc.

Using a floured knife, cut the disc into 8 equal triangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush the top of each scone with the remaining 1 tablespoon of buttermilk.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed, and the tops are lightly golden, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Cool the scones on the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.

For the Scones:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm scones before serving.
