It occurred to me this morning that I am on what I am now referring to as a "cooking rampage". I don't know what's come over me lately, maybe it's the traveling. When I get home, I could spend all my time in the kitchen. I guess thinking about it, I've always kind of been that way, but the inspiration is overflowing lately. I've got a couple things to share in this post, and (still on the meyer lemon kick) I've got a tart crust chilling the the fridge right now and curd ready to go. Last night I made meyer lemon scones. They aren't a typical, dry scone, more like a sweet biscuit with amazing lemon glaze. And for lunch today I made my latest addiction, a veggie sandwich (no cooking at all, but soooo good)! There is a little coffee shop down in LoDo that serves this sandwich, so I recreated it and I eat it alot!! I mean alot! Try these out, and as soon as I taste the tart I'll let you know how it turns out! Have a great weekend!
Meyer Lemon Scones
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 6 pieces
1/2 cup meyer lemon juice
2 teaspoons meyer lemon zest
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor combine all the dry ingredients and pulse it to combine. Add butter and zest and pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add lemon juice and pulse just until mixture forms a ball.
Scoop batter onto parchment lined baking sheet with tablespoons (i used an ice cream scoop). Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
Let cool slightly. Mix together 2 tablespoons lemon juice and enough powdered sugar to make a glaze. Drizzle over the scones.
