Instructions
Scones

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a stand mixer. Blend for 1 minute.

  3. Add in the lemon zest and blend. While on low speed, add in the butter pieces and mix until small pea sized. Add in the white chocolate chips.

  4. Mix the milk, egg, and vanilla together. Slowly pour into the dry ingredients until just blended. Can add additional Tbsp or 2 of flour if too moist.

  5. Empty mixing bowl onto a generously floured cutting board. Sprinkle with flour and pat into an 8-inch circle. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 16 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle with Lemon Glaze.

Lemon Glaze

  1. Place powdered sugar in small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and mix. The consistency should be slightly runny. Drizzle over the Scones.
