Absolutely delicious! First time baking scones and they turned out great! Excited to try some different flavors! Thank you for the wonderful recipe. I used regular lemon as no Meyer on hand. Question: did you let them cool before you put on the glaze?

The texture of these were great! (I made the recipe as written except used a normal lemon in place of a Meyer. I have Meyer lemons on hand but changed my mind at the last minute about using them since I needed to use my last regular lemon.) The only thing was, for me, the lemon flavor didn’t really come through (unglazed). If I find that the lemon zest isn’t enough, would subbing a bit of lemon juice in place of a bit of the heavy cream work? I imagine my Meyer lemons could have had even more trouble coming through, though I’ll only know when I make this again!

For the glaze, I measured by weight to make this next bit easier: in place of 10 grams of powdered sugar, I used 10 grams of homemade lavender sugar, pulsed in a food processor until powdery. (This is probably about a tablespoon of sugar that I subbed.) It was DELICIOUS.

These are amazing! Not dense and dry like disappointing scones at some bakeries. I made them vegan by subbing coconut milk, vegan butter, and a flax egg. They came out just as light, fluffy and delicious as the original!

Hi Christina,
I made your scone recipe because of exactly what you said, don’t want too much left. I manage to get 7 scones out of it. Wanted to share a tip a restaurant owner told me, she said to use a grader for the butter. I actually put my butter into the freezer for just a few minutes to get the butter colder. Makes them really airy. Then I used the whole egg and didn’t need to put extra milk in. I also substituted monk fruit sugar. They turned out yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Had a lime leftover from Midnight Margaritas so I used a lime for zest and juice and added a sparkle of ginger. Also had no egg so I substituted plain Greek yogurt. They are yummy and perfect for tea time.

Thanx!!!

Since we have a couple Meyer lemon trees, I decided to try this recipe. For the glaze, I cut back the amount of powdered sugar. It turned out great! My wife really loves the scones!

Delicious scones… they are light and fluffy… made them with orange zest and orange juice on the glaze. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!!

Hi Christina,
I absolutely love this scone recipe and have adapted it so many ways for different flavors. However, I’m planning to make them soon for a friend who is allergic to eggs. Is there something you’d recommend to replace the egg yolk in the recipe? Thanks!

Great recipe ! I also used 1/2 and 1/2 because it’s what I had on hand. Next time I will add some crystalized ginger because ginger and lemon go so well together.

Hi Cristiana,
I made a batch of these scones making the following changes:
Add orange zest , orange juice to the dry ingredients and the glaze and added raw sugar Instead of white sugar.
They were SO good ! Definitely a keeper.
Thank you!

These are SO good! I used half and half instead of heavy cream, and didn’t have any actual lemons (and so no zest), so used 1/6 cup half and half and 1/6 cup bottled lemon juice. I also formed the scones at night then put them in the fridge, and baked in the morning. They were flaky, delicious, and perfect!
