Mini Lemon Scones with Lemon Glaze
Traditional scone texture meets tarty goodness. Mini Lemon Scones with Lemon Glaze are an elegant treat that's easy to make.
Ingredients
For the Scones:
- 2 c. Flour
- 1/4 c. Sugar
- 1 t. Baking Powder
- 1 t. Baking Soda
- 1/2 c. Butter (cut into small pieces)
- 2 t. Lemon Zest (freshly grated)
- 1/4 c. Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 c. Milk
For the Glaze:
- 1 c. Powdered Sugar
- 2 t. Lemon Zest (freshly grated)
- 1/4 c. Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
For the Scones:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut the butter pieces into flour until small crumbs (about 1 minute).
- Stir the lemon zest into the mixing bowl. Combine the lemon juice and milk and immediately pour into the mixing bowl. Stir until combined and work dough into a ball. Knead 8-10 times. *Optional: Let dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to make it easier to work with.
- On a well floured surface, roll out dough until it is about a 1/2" thick. With a knife, cut the dough into small triangles. Or, using a shot glass or clean medicine cup, cut the dough into small circles. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
For the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lemon zest. Slowly add just enough lemon juice until you reach the desired consistency for a glaze.
- Spoon glaze over the cooled mini scones and let dry. Enjoy!
