Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese (cold and cut into pieces)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cut into pieces)
- 2 large eggs (cold)
- 1/3 cup whole milk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Add the flour, baking powder, salt. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
- Step 3: Place the cold cream cheese, butter, and eggs in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse to combine, about 6 to 8 times. Scrape down the bowl and add the dry ingredients, milk, and lemon juice. Pulse 3 more times and scrape again. Pulse a few more times until the dough comes together.
- Step 4: Remove the dough from the food processor and place on a lightly floured work surface. Fold the dough over on itself a few times to make it smoother. Don’t overwork the dough.
- Step 5: Divide the dough in 2 equal pieces. Form each piece into about a 6-inch disk. Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut the disks into triangles.
- Step 6: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until the scones rise up and are golden. Remove the scones from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Step 7: While the scones are cooling, make the lemon glaze. Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the scones. Serve.
