Lemon Scones

June 22, 2018 By Joanna

Lemon Scones are light and fluffy, bursting with lemon flavor! They are dipped in a lemon glaze that make these the perfect breakfast or snack.

I literally just realized that June is almost gone, and before you know it, it will be fall, and the holidays will be rushing in, and I’m just not ready for all of that quite yet. It’s probably because I am still sporting my winter “tan.” Ha! I may live in Florida, but at the moment, I certainly don’t look like it. We haven’t been to the beach but once, and the pool has been just yucky, because we let it go to swamp water this past fall, and it’s been giving us the worst time ever. Looking at my Facebook memories daily shows me that we’ve spent every freaking day in the pool from mid-May until current over the past like 5 years, and the girls and I are normally sun kissed by now.

The only sun kissing going on is my shins at the moment. Thanks to our little beach trip Sunday afternoon on Father’s Day, the sunscreen I grabbed was um, just a tad bit old, and that is what I chose to toss on my legs to use up, and let’s just say that it wasn’t a good idea. The rest of me got the new stuff, and I didn’t even get any sun. My skin is strange. For some reason, I get too much sun or none at all. I can never find a happy medium, unless I’ve been in the sun daily. It’s just weird. Anyway. I at least hope to look like I’m from here before the end of August, because if not, I will be the color on printer paper come next spring. Seriously.

Enough about tanning, let’s talk Lemon Scones, because that’s why you’re here anyways right?! I know I am! Haha.

I love making scones. They are so freaking easy to put together, and they are literally fail proof. Plus with just a few adjustments, you can come up with any flavor combination! Which make these perfect all year round. I even like scones more than I do muffins! Seriously.

The first scone I ever sank my teeth into was a Starbucks pumpkin scone, and I fell in love with the texture, and the flavors. I made a copy cat recipe from the Copy Cat recipe cookbook, and I have been making some sort of scone ever since. As a matter of fact, the same day that I made these, I also made another flavor, which I’ll be sharing very soon with y’all.

These Lemon Scones are perfect for breakfast, because they go great with a hot cup of coffee. Or they are perfect for a snack, because they go together with a glass of sweet tea! <— Oh and that sweet tea must be iced, if you are in my house. 🙂 I actually had one for breakfast, and finished my coffee before finishing my scone, so I poured myself a glass of tea, and I was like, um this so goes together because lemon and tea go together…right?! I mean I don’t like lemon in my own glass, but they do serve it up in restaurants that way. Do you like lemon in your tea? I actually prefer lemon in my water, but I’m not gonna say grab a glass of water and a Lemon Scone. That just don’t sound appetizing to me.

So about scones, like I said, I love them. Not only do I love them because they are simple to make, and super versatile when it comes to flavors, but I also like that 99% of scone recipes only make 8. Oh, and one more thing, scones aren’t too sweet. They have a nice balance, don’t ya think?

If lemon isn’t your thing, and I wouldn’t imagine why not, I have lot’s of other yummy scone recipes to try…Sweet and Tangy Orange Scones – Blueberry Lemon Scones – Vanilla Bean Scones – Peppermint Mocha Scones – Caramel Apple Scones – Caramel Apple Scones

    This does sound delicious with a hot cup of coffee in the morning. I’m thinking for afternoon a glass of COLD lemonade may work too – tea is good – but lemonade & a lemon scone…yum

    • Joanna

    How do you make something that can be dry like a scone be so moist and refreshing? I wish i could bake something so great for brunches or coffee.

    June 22, 2018 at 8:05 PM

    I have never had a scone before! I love anything with lemon, so I bet I would enjoy!

      Scones are like the perfect cross between a muffin and a biscuit. 🙂 You have got to have one asap.

    I hope you finally get some tan and just lay around the beach as much as you’d like while summer’s still here! I’ve been spending as much as I can in the sand too. These scones are pretty lovely! Perfect with your fave cup of coffee or tea!

    It’s funny, I love scones and I buy them every so often, but I haven’t tried making my own. These sound so delicious and perfect to accompany a cup of tea.

    • Joanna

    For me, lemon scones congure up happy memories. We had them daily while we were in London, with clotted cream and strawberries, and a pot of tea.

    • Joanna

      June 24, 2018 at 10:32 PM

      Trade tea for coffee, and that sounds like a fabulous day! 😉

    I’m a chocolate lover but when it comes to desserts, lemon is the second one on my list. I love lemon pie, and lemon cookies! This recipe looks so yummy. Coffee + Lemon scones = perfect morning

    • Joanna

      June 24, 2018 at 10:31 PM

      Lemon is up there on my list of favorite flavor for treats as well!
