Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the lemon zest, thyme leaves, and white chocolate chips.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 1-inch thick disc. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk for a golden finish.
- Bake until the scones are lightly golden—about 18 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with a lemon glaze for extra zing!
Notes
Pro Tips
- For extra crisp edges, refrigerate the shaped scones for 10 minutes before baking.
- Want a glossy top? Brush with milk mixed with a touch of maple syrup.
- A lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice) makes these extra special!
