Lemon Cranberry Scones with Lemon Glaze. I thought I would make some scones today. However, I am on a little bit of a health kick so I added whole wheat flour instead of regular white flour. You can make changes to almost any recipe depending on your mood or lifestyle. This is a very straight forward easy recipe. I was extremely pleased with how these scones turned out. The lemon glaze adds a extra sweet tang to every bite. Give this recipe ago, they are a simple delicious snack accompanied with a spot of tea.
Lemon Cranberry Scones with Lemon Glaze:
SCONES:
2 Cups Flour (I Used Whole Wheat)
1/4 Cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Finely Grated Lemon Zest
1/2 Cup Cool Unsalted Butter, Cut into Small Pieces
1/2 Whipping Cream
1/4 Cup 2% Milk
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Frozen Cranberries
GLAZE:
1 Cup Icing Sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1. To bake scones preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray with non stick spray.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir in lemon zest. Cut butter into small cubes and add to mixture.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together: cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Add this to the flour mixture and mix all together.
4. Flour a rolling surface and kneed dough making sure all ingredients are together. Shape the dough into a circle shape and cut like a pizza into sections. Place on cookie sheet and brush milk over top of the scone pieces. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
While scones are cooking it is time to make the glaze.
1. Add icing sugar and lemon juice resulting in a thick consistency.
2. When scones are cooled you can go ahead and drizzle icing over the scones.
ENJOY!
