Key Lime Scones Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the cream and key lime juice, processing until just combined. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead just until the dough is combined enough to shape into a ball. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Roll out dough until it is about a 1/2″ thick. Let dough rest in refrigerator for 15 minutes. With a knife, cut the dough into small triangles. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown on top. Move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and key lime juice. Add more or less key lime juice for desired consistency. Spoon glaze over scones and allow to dry.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Scatter the butter over the mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Mix in the white chocolate, lime zest, lime juice and heavy cream. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and knead until it forms a rough, slightly sticky ball. Divide the dough into two balls. Flatten each dough ball until it is approximately an 8 inch circle. Using a sharp knife cut each circle first into halves, then fourths and finally eighths. Place the pieces onto a well greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle the icing onto hot scones and garnish with lime zest and sugar if desired.
