Recipe by Aimee Olexy
Aimee Olexy's lemony, cream-based scones are light, moist, and laced with pieces of chewy candied ginger.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 c. candied ginger
- 2 c. confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk the flour with the granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cream and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; fold in the candied ginger.
- On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead the dough just until it comes together. Pat into a 9-inch round, a scant 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes, until slightly firm and lightly browned on the bottom, pale on top. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar with the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of lemon juice until the glaze is smooth. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the scones and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
