Lemon Huckleberry Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture until moistened; turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
• Knead dough briefly for 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1 inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedges and arrange on a baking sheet leaving 1 inch between each wedge.
• Bake in preheated oven until bottom edges are lightly tan, 11 to 14 minutes. Allow scones to cool for 15 minutes.
• While scones are cooling, stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 2 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture is easily drizzled.
• Drizzle glaze over warm scones.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Stir together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in the butter with pastry blender or by hand until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg with milk and lemon zest. Pour egg mixture over flour mixture and stir once or twice, then add the blueberries and stir just until moist. Gather dough into a ball and place on greased baking sheet. Pat dough into a 9-inch circle, about 3/4 inch thick. With a sharp wet knife, and without cutting all the way through, score the dough into 8 wedges. Do not separate the dough. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 2 minutes. Separate the scones into 8 pieces and serve. Editor's Extra: It helps to grease your hands, too, for easier patting. Maybe add a little extra zest on top. Delicious! Fun Fact:Wall Drug Store is a tourist attraction in Wall, South Dakota. Pharmacist Ted Hustead bought Wall Drug in 1931, located in a 231-person town in "the middle of nowhere," and strove to make a living. Business was very slow until Hustead's wife, Dorothy, got the idea to advertise free ice water to parched travelers heading to the newly-opened Mount Rushmore monument sixty miles to the west. From that time on business was brisk. By 1981 Wall Drug was giving away 20,000 cups of water per day during the peak tourist season. It is now a sprawling shopping mall consisting of a drug store, gift shop, restaurants, and various other stores.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6 and grease a large baking tray. In a large bowl, rub the flour, 1⁄4 tsp salt and the butter together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the caster sugar and lemon zest, and stir with a cutlery knife. Mix together the buttermilk and milk. Make a well in the centre of the flour mix and add the liquid. Use your cutlery knife to combine the mixture as a soft dough, but don't overmix or the scones will be heavy.
• Tip onto your work surface and pat the dough out to a 2.5cm thickness. Use a 7cm cookie cutter to stamp out the scones. Don't twist as you cut, as this will stop the scones rising to their full potential. Any scraps of dough can be gently pushed back together to make more scones. Place the scones on the baking tray and bake for 10-12 mins until golden, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
• Mix the icing sugar with enough lemon juice to make a thick but runny icing. Drizzle over the scones, then scatter with the crushed sugar cubes and lemon zest. Leave to set for 10 mins, then enjoy with clotted cream and jam.
