Amazing Lemon Scones
These lemon scones with a sweet lemon glaze are so delicious —they melt in your mouth! This recipe came about after much trial and error as I tried to create the amazing scones I used to get in a bakery back home. I think I've got it right!
all-purpose flour
3
cups
white sugar
⅓
cup
baking powder
1 ½
teaspoons
baking soda
1 ½
teaspoons
salt
⅓
teaspoon
cold butter, cut into pieces
¾
cup
milk
9
tablespoons
lemon juice
3
tablespoons
lemon zest
2 ½
teaspoons
vinegar
1 ½
teaspoons
confectioners' sugar
2
cups
butter, melted
⅓
cup
lemon juice
2 ½
tablespoons
vanilla extract
½
teaspoon
water, or as needed
2
tablespoons
 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  Make the scones: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until dough is moistened.
  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 10 wedge-shaped pieces; arrange 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
  Bake in the preheated oven until bottom edges are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool scones on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Stir water into sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a glaze; drizzle glaze over warm scones.
