Recipe Introduction


Jazz up your scones by stirring dried cranberries, cherries or blueberries into the dough. Sprinkle coarse decorating sugar over unbaked scones, or drizzle baked scones with melted white baking chips.





List of Ingredients



• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/4 cup sugar
  
• 1 T grated lemon peel
  
• 2 tsps baking powder
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/3 cup firm butter
  
• 1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1/3 cup milk
  
• Lemon juice
  
• Sugar
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
