Title: Lemon Pecan Scones Categories: None Yield: 8 Servings 2 c Unbleached white flour 1/4 c Sugar 1 tb Baking powder 1/2 ts Salt Grated zest of one lemon 1/2 c Chopped pecans 1 1/4 c Heavy cream 1/2 ts Lemon extract 1 tb Melted butter 1 tb Sugar Preheat oven to 425ø. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the lemon zest and pecans. In a measuring cup, stir together heavy cream and lemon extract. Stir into dry ingredients until dough holds together in a rough mass. Do not overmix. The dough will be quite sticky. Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9 times. Pat into two circles about 6 inches round. Brush melted butter over the top and side of the circle of dough and sprinkle the sugar on top. Cut each circle into 6 wedges and place pieces on an ungreased baking sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces. Bake at 375ø for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
