Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. Zest the lemon and chop the candied lemon into small pieces.
2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3
Dice the cold butter, add it to the flour mixture, and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Add the lemon zest and candied lemon, then mix thoroughly.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk. Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
6
Shape the dough into a disc and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly flatten the top and use a sharp knife to cut crosswise into the disc, creating an 'X' shape.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are nicely golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool before serving.
