Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour This forms the base and structure of your scones.
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar Adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Essential for achieving that fluffy texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest Introduces a vibrant citrus flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the other flavors in the scone.
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter Creates flakiness and richness in the dough.
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream Adds moisture and helps bind everything together.
  • 1 large egg Provides structure and richness to the scone.
  • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice Infuses more citrus flavor into the scone.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Adds depth to the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar Used in the glaze for sweetness and smooth texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice Brightens up the glaze with extra citrus punch.
  • 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest For added zing in the glaze.
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream Adjusts the consistency of the glaze as needed.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, Meyer lemon zest, and salt until well mixed.
  4. Quickly cut in the chilled butter until blended; aim for no pieces larger than a pea.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then pour it into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined.
  6. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, then press it into a disc about ¾ inches thick before cutting into equal slices; place on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with cream before baking until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
