Healthy Lemon scones with strawberries

I made this cookies-like, healthy scone recipe yesterday for the mother’s day mini party that I have organized for all the mothers in our family, we had a lot of fun with our kids, husbands and gifts. The idea was great and we will repeat the next year. Besides this lemon scone recipe, I made 3 more kinds of cookies, but this one has disappeared very quickly and people was asking for more,

I hope you like this easy and healthy scone recipe, and happy mother’s day for all mothers in the world, we are awesome!!

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lemon zest
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1 cup whipping cream
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
strawberries jam

Instructions

1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, add lemon zest and mix with your hand.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces before adding to the dry ingredients. Mix with your hand until the mixture resembles fine crumbs
3. In another medium bowl, beat the egg’s yolk, add whipping cream and vanilla extract, mix with a fork until combined, add to the dry ingredients and stir until dough holds together
4. Knead dough on a flour-dusted surface forming a ball, flatten the ball into a disk about 3/4 inch. (2 cm) thick, cut with a round mold pieces of 2 inch. approx., if you don’t have a round cookie mold use the edge of a small water glass to make the job.
5. Transfer the scones pieces to a baking sheet, and bake for 15 – 18 minutes at 400 ºF (200º C), let cool on the sheet a few minutes.
6. Spread the bottom of a scone with jam and stick another scone to it, just like the picture.
