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

- 45 gr unsalted butter
- 70 gr lemon juice
- 230g confectioners sugar

Instructions
Dough
- Preheat your oven at 400 F (200 ΒΊC);
- Prepare a baking pan with a silpat o parchment paper;
- Zest the lemons and combine with the sugar;
- Add the flour, salt and baking powder and combine everything with the fingers;
- Cut the frozen butter in tiny pieces; you can also grate it or process it with a food processor;
- Mix the butter with the flour mixture using a fork or spatula (avoid using the hands because of gluten development) until is well incorporated;
- Whisk the egg and vanilla in a separate bowl and add the yogurt until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous;
- 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;
- 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;
- Put each scone in the pan, leaving 5 cm distance between each.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until they are golden;
- Let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes prepare the lemon glaze in the meantime;
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the scones and wait until the glaze is dry;
- Enjoy!
Lemon Icing
- Melt the butter and add the lemon juice and the vanilla;
- Sift the icing sugar on top and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps;
- The icing should be used right away to avoid drying.
- Be creative and substitute: replace lemon for orange, lime, or other citric juice!
