Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup sourdough starter, unfed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
  7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges.
  8. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter scone, add more sugar to the dough.
  • These scones can be frozen before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
  • Serve with clotted cream or lemon curd for an extra treat.
