2 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 T chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 c. light sour cream
1/2 c. low fat buttermilk
1 T grated lemon rind (I used the rind from a whole lemon)
Cooking spray
2 tsp. turbinado sugar (I used regular)
Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Combine sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon rind in a small bowl; add to flour mixture stirring only until combined.
Turn on to a lightly floured surface; knead 4 times.
Divide dough in half. Spray a baking pan (I used a stone) with cooking spray. Shape each half into a 5" circle on the baking pan. Score each circle into 6 pieces. Sprinkle each with 1 tsp. sugar
Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cook on a wire rack.
YIELD: 12 scones
1 scone = 3 WW points
These were light and refreshingly lemon but not overpowered. I may add lemon juice or extract next time. I'd like a bigger scone for 3 points (the whole wheat blueberry scones that I posted on this blog are much bigger and 4 points for instance), but they were filling and a yummy snack with a cup of coffee.
