Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
Cut in the Cold Unsalted Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, combine all Wet Ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
Cut out scones using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While scones are baking, prepare the Lemon Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together Powdered Sugar and Lemon Juice until smooth.
Let scones cool slightly before drizzling with Lemon Glaze.
