Sconedays with a Light Lemon Twist
For this Sconedays recipe we combined two of our favorite things: lemons and scones. You might be noticing at this point, if you've read several of our recent posts, that we have a lot of favorite foods. But whoever said you can have too many favorites! We like to add lemon to lots of different recipes and thought it would add a nice citrus, tasty kick to our scones.
One of the things Rebel has missed since being lactose intolerant is being able to buy pastries at coffee shops. Starbucks has a lemon scone, covered in icing, that always looks delicious. So we thought we'd try it out and add a little (or a lot) of icing to this scone recipe. Lee was hesitant at first due to all the sugar covering up the already flavorful scone, but we both agreed that it ended up being quite good with icing on it.
