The Ultimate Guide to Making Perfect Lemon Cream Scones
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
