SCONES WITH LEMON ICING

This will make 8 scones

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
11/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Cup(1stick) Cold Butter, cut up in small pieces
11/2 Teaspoons Lemon Zest
2 Teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Egg

In a large mixing bowl wisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in the butter. In a seprate bowl wisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, cream and egg. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture and mix just till a dough begans to form and hold together. On a lightly floured surface roll out into a circle about a 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet and do not let them touch each other. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Iceing:
3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
11/2 Teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
Yellow Food Coloring
In a bowl mix the powdered sugar and the lemon juice to make a drizzling consistency. Add a drop of yellow food color. Drizzle or brush the iceing over the hot scones. Serve. Better tasting the next day as the lemon iceing has more flavor.
