Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup shredded butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup low fat milk + 2 tablespoons lemon juice (mix together & set aside for 5-7 minutes)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of one lemon

Instruction

  • - Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
  • - In a bowl, add the sugar and lemon zest, mix well to allow lemon zest's oil and aroma to spread in the sugar.
  • - Sift in the flour with salt and baking powder. Whisk again with sugar mixture.
  • - Add the shredded butter and mix using a fork for one minute.
  • - Pour the milk and mix using a fork. Do not over mix, just until the mixture is combined.
  • - Transfer to a greased baking tray, or better to use parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • - Sprinkle 1-teaspoon flour over the dough, shape to one-inch high disk, and cut into eight scones.
  • - Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes or until the surface is light brown. It really depends on your oven but keep checking on the scones after 15 minutes.
