Strawberry Lemon Scones

Scones are such a simple delicious treat. My family's favorite is filled with fresh strawberries and lemon zest-- a perfect blend of sweet and zesty!

Preparation Time:	25 minutes
Baking Time:	25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cup cut strawberries

• 2 cups flour

• 5 tbsp sugar

• 1 and 1/4 sticks cold butter

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 lemon

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 cup confectioner's sugar

• vanilla extract

  
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Chop strawberries, and grate a bit of lemon zest from your lemon.

   
   

   

   
   

2. Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Cut in cold butter and pulse until butter is in pea-sized lumps.

   
   

   

   
   

3. Transfer the butter/flour mixture to a mixing bowl. Add strawberries and lemon zest.

   
   

   

   
   

4. Beat one egg, combined with milk and add to the mixing bowl. Mix, but no need to over mix.

   
   

   

   
   

5. Transfer mix onto a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Create a round shape, about one inch thick. Cut into wedges and separate the wedges on the tray.

   
   

   

   
   

6. Beat another egg and apply egg wash to the scones, careful not to egg wash the sides, only the tops.

   
   

   

   
   

7. Bake for 25 minutes, until lightly browned.

8. For the glaze, mix confectioner's sugar, lemon and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over scones and enjoy!
