Scones

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1/2 cup Darigold Butter, cut into 1" pieces
• 3/4 cup Darigold Half and Half or Whipping Cream

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease large cookie sheet. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar and lemon peel. Using fork or pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in 3/4 cup half and half just until soft dough forms.

Turn dough out onto well-floured surface; knead dough 5 to 6 times. On lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with floured 2-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. Place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Brush scones with half and half; sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake at 400°F for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
