Lemon Scones
|
 |
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
Additional sugar
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut
in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add buttermilk and lemon peel,
stirring just until mixed. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently six
times. Shape into a ball. On a greased baking sheet, pat dough into a circle
about 1/2 in thick and 8-1/2 in. in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut wedges in
the dough, being careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Editor's Note: To sour milk, place 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar in a
measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal 1/2 cup.
Yield: 10-12 scones.
