Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a round disk that is about 1 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, milk, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Allow the scones to cool for about 5 minutes after baking, then drizzle the glaze over the warm scones.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
