Lemon Scones

 

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• ⅓ cup white sugar

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

• ⅓ teaspoon salt

• ¾ cup cold butter, cut into pieces

• 9 Tablespoons milk

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2 ½ teaspoons lemon zest

• 1 ½ teaspoons vinegar

• Glaze:

• 2 cups confectioners' sugar

• ⅓ cup butter, melted

• 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

1. Make the scones: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough is moistened.

2. 1. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedge-shaped pieces; arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.

   2. 1. Bake in the preheated oven until bottom edges are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool scones on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

      2. 1. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a glaze; drizzle glaze over warm scones.
