Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the lemon zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
