Breakfast, brunch, morning snack….. call it what you want. I love it. I especially love it when I get to enjoy breakfast with a homemade baked good. Some of my favorite homemade breakfast options include: homemade english muffins, pumpkin waffles, sourdough pancakes and chocolate chip banana bread.

I’m also ESPECIALLY excited when my morning baked good is just a little bit sweet, which is why these lemon mini-scones are perfect. The dough is flakey and buttery, while the lemon glaze adds a bit of sweetness to make them just decadent enough. Enjoyed with some homemade hot chocolate or a nutrient rich smoothie; this is a breakfast that is sure to please.

Ingredients

2 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
2 tsp lemon zest
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c milk
1 c powdered sugar

Instructions

Combine first four ingredients and then cut in the butter.
Add lemon zest.
Combine milk and lemon juice and then immediately pour into the bowl and stir.
Once a ball of dough forms, knead 8-10 times and let rest in fridge for 15 minutes.
Roll dough out to 1/2 in thick and cut into small circles. (I use a shot glass 🙂
Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes or until lightly golden.
Combine all three ingredients adding just enough lemon juice to get the consistency that you want. Pour over slightly cooled scones.

These scones are best when served immediately but will keep for several days in the fridge.
