Lemon scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour


• 1/4 cup sugar


• 1 teaspoon baking powder


• 1 teaspoon baking soda


• 1/4 teaspoon salt


• 1/2 cup cold butter


• 1/2 cup buttermilk


• 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest


• Additional sugar

Directions

• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add buttermilk and lemon zest, stirring just until mixed.


• Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently six times. Shape into a ball. On a greased baking sheet, pat dough into a circle about 1/2 in thick and 8-1/2 in. in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut wedges in the dough, being careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
