Best Scones Recipes: Lemon Scones Recipe
I may have made a few great Lemon Scones Recipe before, but that doesn’t keep me from wanting to try new scone recipes!
Maybe I am out of practice, but I had to add a bit of milk to the dough to get it to come together correctly. I haven’t made any scone recipes for awhile (can you believe it?) but here I am once again.
These had a really great flavor. I must have used all the powdered sugar at Christmas so I wasn’t able to use a glaze–even so, the boys and I ate almost all of the light Lemon Scones ourselves! I found this at AllRecipes.

Notes
We had to add in more milk--the dough would not come together.
