I have been a fan of scones since being introduced to them back in 2005 when I worked part time at Starbucks. I have made a few kinds of flavored scones in the past, but this is the first time that I try our King Arthur’s recipe with their products. This is a refreshing scone flavor that I would highly recommend in the summer. You could even pair it with a lemony tea in the morning. I recently made these for breakfast prep this past weekend to enjoy and save time in the morning.

Lemon Scones

Ingredients

• 2 Cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 2 tbsp. lemon juice powder

• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1/4 tsp. baking soda

• 6 tbsp. cold butter, cut into pieces

• 2 large eggs

• 1/3 cup plain yogurt

• 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

• 1/8 tsp. pure lemon oil

Prepare

1. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. whisk all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Work the butter in until it looks like coarse cornmeal.
3. Next, whisk together eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon oil in a separate bowl and add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Spray the inside of a scone pan with Baker’s Joy, or your preferred floured spray to avoid the scones from sticking.
5. Fill each scone well evenly.
6. Bake the scones until golden and lightly browned.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
8. Flip the scone pan over onto a wire rack, serve immediately. You can save these in a dark and cool place for up to a week.
