Lemon Cardamom Scones
Packed with flavor and easy to make, these delicious Lemon Cardamom Scones are great with your coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Oatmeal
- 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground Cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted Butter
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 6 oz container Lemon-flavored or regular yogurt
For the Lemon Drizzle
- 5 Tablespoons powdered Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Set aside. Mix together the flour, oatmeal, baking powder and baking soda, ground cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, mix together the egg and yogurt until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until everything is moistened.
- On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead it a few times until it comes together (10-12 times). Pat the dough to an 8-inch circle and cut into 8 wedges. In the prepared baking sheet, place the wedges about 2-inch apart and then transfer to the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the scones look golden brown.
- Transfer the scones to a wire rack and cool completely.
- Stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until it is smooth and has a glaze consistency. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled scones.
