Recipe
Heat oven to 400°F. Combine all topping ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
Combine flour, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in half & half, eggs and 2 teaspoons lemon peel just until moistened. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 5 to 8 times until smooth, adding only enough flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking to surface.
Pat dough into 9-inch circle on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle topping evenly over dough. Score circle into 8 wedges with knife, do not separate.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully separate scones.
*Substitute LAND O LAKES® Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil.
TIP: Prepare scones as directed above, stirring in 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots or chopped pecans with flour.
