I’m so exited that it’s Spring! I’m over bleak, cold days and heavy, too filling foods! I can’t wait for butterflies and thick grass along with light and zesty foods! And nothing says Spring to me than the lemon! I’ll eat just about anything if it has this fresh, light, and slightly sour flavor in it!
Let’s be realistic, it’s that awkward time between Winter and Spring, where the mornings and nights are cold and the days are eager to get warmer, but never quite make that far. And the scone just represents that to me! It’s heavy, but chewy and can have the lightest whispers of flavors than any other food. And they’re easier to make than?you think!
Now, get your hands in there and mix in the butter. Smash it up or have the kids do this part!
Make a well in the center of your mix. Add one egg yolk, milk, and extract of your choice. (I recommend either Vanilla or Orange extract). Whisk just the wet ingredients until nice and frothy. Now, get those hands back in there and combine all the ingredients.

Now, on a well floured surface, knead, knead, knead! Stretch the dough away from you, then pull it back towards you. Keep going until you get a smooth, round mix.

Now flatten the dough with the heel of your palm to desired thickness. Using a pizza slicer, cut the dough like a pizza pie into 8 slices. Carefully, move each triangle to a well greased baking sheet. Take care to leave about an inch between each scone. Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
Use your zested lemon, mix all the juice with 1 1/2 cups of powered sugar. Drizzle over warm scones. Devour.

I would love to hear if you make these scones! You can easily substitute different fruits, like oranges for the lemons! I hope you enjoy y’all!
