Simple. Good. I have been on a scone kick as of late. If you like more lemon flavor add it. Also make sure scones are completely cool before eating, They taste SO much better this way.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (1 lemon)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into pieces
9 tablespoons whipping cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon peel, baking powder, baking soda and salt in processor.

4. Drop dough by 1/4 cups full onto heavy baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
