Lemon Scones Recipe with Lemon Icing
If you are familiar making scones recipes, you know that they are so simple! This Lemon Scones recipe is no different.
Unlike most of the scones recipes on little Indiana, this one does use cream instead of milk. I have subbed in a bit of orange peel for the lemon with great result. I’ve already made these lemon scones two times this week alone!
Soft Lemon Scones with Lemon Glaze Recipe
From Food.com
A wonderful recipe! We chose to omit the Raisins. We eat these Lemon Scones plain. They are so incredibly soft!
In a pinch, I have subbed in Orange Peel for Lemon Peel with equally great results.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Golden Raisins, Coarsely Chopped (Optional)

- 2 - 4 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
- 375* oven.

- Bake 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
