Lemon Scones

Ingredients

• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/2 c. cold butter or margarine
• 1/2 c. sour milk*
• 1 1/2 t. grated lemon peel
• Additional sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
2. Add the milk and lemon peel, stirring just until mixed. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently six times. Shape into a ball.
3. On a greased baking sheet, pat the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick and 8 1/2 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut wedges in the dough, being careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle with sugar.
4. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.

Notes

• *To sour milk, place 1 1/2 t. of white vinegar in a measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal 1/2 cup.
