Lemon Scones

2 c. all-purpose flour

¼ c. sugar

1 t. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

¼ t. salt

½ c. cold butter or margarine

½ c. sour milk*

1 ½ t. grated lemon peel

Additional sugar for sprinkling

 

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.  Add milk and lemon peel, 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-inch thick and 8 ½ inches 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 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. 

 

*To sour milk, place 1 ½ t. of white vinegar in a measuring cup.  Add enough milk to equal ½ cup.
