Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and milk.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a sharp knife or a round cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
-
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
-
Optional: Dust the scones with powdered sugar before serving.
