Ingredients
- 2 Cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Zest of one lemon
- 1/3 Cup butter
- 2/3 Cup milk
- 1 Egg lightly whisked for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking tray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk lightly to combine. Add the lemon zest and combine.
- Cut in butter and use the tips of your fingers to incorporate it until it resembles a bread crumb mixture. Add milk all at once and stir until it comes together as a dough. Don't over mix.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and lightly press it out with your hands. With a small 2 inch circle cutter, cut out 8 scones. You can also spoon the dough onto a baking tray.
- With a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Place on your baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
