How to Make the Best Lemon Scones | Big Little Recipes

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

These butter-free lemon scones are bright, flaky, and ultra-lemony thanks to a nifty tip: blitzing an entire lemon. It has white whole-wheat flour for an earthy, nutty flavor and lemon-infused cold cream for sour and sunny notes. Drizzled with a lemon glaze and a pinch of flakey salt, this perfectly balanced scone is heaven in a bite. GET THE RECIPE ►► f52.co/3gwBFPx

    Quick tip on white whole wheat flour…because it is whole wheat, it goes off faster than all purpose. Store it tightly sealed in the fridge, especially during the summer, if you’re not going to use it quickly. Also, keep an eye on the sell by date. I have found bags on the shelf at the grocery that were beyond the date.

    Yes, I would think including the pith (that we always avoid) would add bitterness to the scones. Interested in this answer.

  • @adedow1333

    Usually the way to avoid the bitterness of the pith is to boil it. I know of a flourless cake that involves boiling clementines for a good long while before blending them up and adding all the other ingredients. I might try it both ways just to see the difference (if any).

    We can totally understand why you might think that, but happily, no-it's balanced out by all the sweetness :). You could absolutely try this with a cake (or a tart, like Lazy Mary’s Lemon Tart or the Whole-Lemon Tart from Dorie Greenspan’s Paris Sweets).

    Is there a reason for using confectioners sugar, aside from "because it's going to come in handy later on"? I totally don't mean that in a sarcastic tone--I'm wondering if it alters the texture of the product as compared to if we used granulated? Thanks much 😊

    Ooooo those look good!!! Do you know if it would be possible to use other kinds of citrus the same way as this recipe does? I recently got the idea to try making orange & dark chocolate scones, but I know orange rind tends to be extremely bitter. My original plan was to try and candy the rind to fold it in the dough, but after this I might skip the candying and just boil it to remove some bitterness before adding it to the blender

    How the hell do Americans completely ruin scones every single time, it makes my Kiwi half want to kick my American half's butt. Scones are meant to be light and fluffy like biscuits. These hockey puck things sold in Starbucks and every supermarket bakery are as far from a scone as you can get. I have been making scones for thirty five years and it just angers me to see them butchered in this way. The dough is meant to be very sticky wet, adding liquid until the flour mixture comes together before being scooped on to a floured surface for cutting. Manhandling the dough too much creates too much gluten in the scones and they will come out hard and flat.
