  • Author: Jesi Fera
  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 8 extra large scones 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 Lemons Zest
  • 250 gr fresh raspberries
  • 1 egg (large)
  • 120 gr unsalted butter (frozen)
  • 180 gr natural greek yogurt
  • 70 gr granulated sugar
  • 240 gr all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 gr baking powder
  • Vanilla extract as needed

Lemon Glaze

  • 45 gr unsalted butter
  • 70 gr lemon juice
  • 230g confectioners sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Dough

  1. Preheat your oven at 400 F (200 ΒΊC);
  2. Prepare a baking pan with a silpat o parchment paper;
  3. Zest the lemons and combine with the sugar;
  4. Add the flour, salt and baking powder and combine everything with the fingers;
  5. Cut the frozen butter in tiny pieces; you can also grate it or process it with a food processor;
  6. Mix the butter with the flour mixture using a fork or spatula (avoid using the hands because of gluten development) until is well incorporated;
  7. Whisk the egg and vanilla in a separate bowl and add the yogurt until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous;
  8. Stir the yogurt mixture slowly and combine without touching the dough too much. After the dough is mixed, add the fresh raspberries evenly throughout the dough;
  9. Inside the bowl, make a ball with the dough and then transfer it to the countertop sprinkling first some flour. Make the dough into a 18 cm diameter disk, and divide evenly as it was a pizza. I choose to divide it in 8 portions but you can divide it even more;
  10. Put each scone in the pan, leaving 5 cm distance between each.
  11. Bake about 15 minutes or until they are golden;
  12. Let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes prepare the lemon glaze in the meantime;
  13. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the scones and wait until the glaze is dry;
  14. Enjoy!

Lemon Icing

  1. Melt the butter and add the lemon juice and the vanilla;
  2. Sift the icing sugar on top and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps;
  3. The icing should be used right away to avoid drying.
  4. Be creative and substitute: replace lemon for orange, lime, or other citric juice!
