- COMBINE HONEY, LEMON EXTRACT, LEMON PEEL AND CREAM IN A SMALL BOWL, ADD TO SUGAR MIXTURE, STIRRING JUST UNTIL MIXTURE FORMS A SOFT BALL. ADD MORE BAKING MIX IF DOUGH BECOMES TOO STICKY.
- PLACE DOUGH ON A FLOURED SURFACE. ROLL TO 1/2" THICKNESS. CUT OUT SCOMES WITH A 2" BISCUIT CUTTER.

- YOU CAN PREPARE THE SCONES FOR BAKING UP TO 2 HOURS AHEAD. REFRIGERATE UNTIL READY TO BAKE.
- IN MANY BAKED GOODS, HONEY AND CORN SYRUP ARE INTERCHANGEABLE. SINCE LEMON FLAVOR DOMINATES THESE TASTY SCONES, YOU CAN USE LIGHT CORN SYRUP IN PLACE OF HONEY.
