Lemon Scones

 It's much easier than making bread, with less than 1 hour and you will get lovely fragranced scone.

When I don't have time but I have to bake something for my family breakfast, I always turn to biscuits or scone. As it requires less time to make and there are so many variations that you can create.  This time my scone is flavored with lemon, with both juice and zest, this scone doesn’t have only a smell but a lightly tangy taste too. 

This scone is very easy to make (well you always hear this word in my blog, haha), for the scone that contains egg it will help rising up the scone too, so as long as you can keep yourself from knead the dough, you will get fluffy scone for sure !!!

If you love to make add more fragrance you can use lemon zest from 2 lemon (instead of one). For those who really love lemon, I suggest serving it with lemon curd, and you will be in lemon world, hehe.
