LEMON PECAN SCONES
I LOVE LEMON AND PECANS AND THIS IS A GREAT SCONE. I SOMETIMES MAKE A GLAZE TO SPREAD ON TOP TO GIVE IT THAT EXTRA SPECIAL TASTE. THIS RECIPE COMES FROM THE GALENA STREET MOUNTAIN INN IN COLORADO.
List of Ingredients
- 2 CUPS UNBLEACHED WHITE FLOUR
- 1/4 CUP SUGAR
- 1 TABLESPOON BAKING POWDER
- 1/2 TEASPOON SALT
- GRATED ZEST OF ONE LEMON
- 1/2 CUP CHOPPED PECANS
- 1 1/4 CUPS HEVY CREAM
- 1/2 TEASPOON LEMON EXTRACT
- 1 TABLESPOOON MELTED BUTTER
- 1 TABLESPOON SUGAR
Instructions
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 375°.
- IN A BOWL, COMBINE THE FLOUR, SUGAR, BAKING POWDER AND SALT. ADD THE LEMON ZEST AND PECANS.
- IN A MEASURING CUP, STIR TOGETHER HEAVY CREAM AND LEMON EXTRACT. STIR INTO DRY INGREDIENTS UNTIL DOUGH HOLDS TOGETHER IN A ROUGH MASS. "DO NOT OVERMIX". THE DOUGH WILL BE QUITE STICKY.
- LIGHTLY FLOUR A BOARD AND TRANSFER THE DOUGH TO IT. KNEAD THE DOUGH 8 TO 9 TIMES. PAT INTO TWO CIRCLES ABOUT 6 " ROUND.
- BRUSH MELTED BUTTER OVER THE TOP AND SIDE OF THE CIRCLE OF DOUGH AND SPRINKLE THE SUGAR ON TOP. CUT EACH CIRCLE INTO 6 WEDGES AND PLACE PIECES ON AN UNGREASED BAKING SHEET, ALLOWING ABOUT AN INCH BETWEEN PIECES.
- BAKE FOR 15 TO 20 MINUTES OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN.
