Meyer Lemon Scones
Author: 
Recipe type: Sweet Treats, Breakfast and Brunch
Serves: 8 scones
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter, chilled and cut into 10-12 small pieces
  • 8-10 tbsp fresh Meyer lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons Meyer lemon zest
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter and toss to coat. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse sand.
  3. Add 5-6 tablespoons of orange juice and zest and stir dough with a fork. Add remaining juice until dough comes together into a not-too-moist ball. Divide dough in to two balls and flatten onto baking sheet to for discs about 1-inch thick. Divide each disc into quarters and separate slightly.
  4. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until scones are a light golden color. A toothpick should come out clean, but color is a reliable indicator for these.
  5. For the glaze: Mix together a few tablespoonfuls of white sugar with a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to make a paste. Drizzle on scones when hot out of the oven.
  6. Let scones cool before eating.
