Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Blend together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, lemon zest and basil.
  3. Cut in butter until the texture resembles a coarse meal.
  4. Alternately, you can use a processor to do this. Just pulse until you get small pea-sized lumps.
  5. Mix together lemon juice with the milk and add to the scone mixture. Combine until dough just comes together.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into a disc shape (with about an 8 inch diameter), leaving the center slightly higher.
  7. You can use a pizza cutter and just slice the disc into eight pieces like a pizza.
  8. Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Brush with remaining tablespoon of milk and sprinkle the tops lightly with some of your sugar.
  10. Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
  11. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
