Mini Lemon Scones

I made these last week and they were delicious!

Mini Lemon Scone Bites with Lemon Glaze

For the scones:

• 2 c. flour
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1/2 c. butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 t. freshly grated lemon zest
• 1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 c. milk

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut the butter pieces into flour until crumbly.

2. Stir the lemon zest into the mixing bowl. Combine the lemon juice and milk andimmediately pour into the mixing bowl. Stir until combined and work dough into a ball. Knead 8-10 times. Let dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

3. On a well floured surface, roll out dough until it is about a 1/2″ thick. With a knife, cut the dough into small triangles. Or, using a shot glass or clean medicine cup, cut the dough into small circles. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.

For the Lemon Glaze:

• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 2 t. freshly grated lemon zest
• 1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice (more or less depending on consistency)

1. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lemon zest. Slowly add just enough lemon juice until you reach the desired consistency for a glaze. (I just squeezed my lemon directly into the bowl and added more as needed. I used almost a whole lemon (roughly 1/4 c. lemon juice) to get the right consistency.)

2. Spoon glaze over the cooled mini scones and let dry. Enjoy!
