Lime Scones

My boyfriend is from Guatemala and as such he was brought up to always drink his cafe con leche with pan. Usually we go out and buy a bag of conchas or tostadas. But since I got into this whole baking thing I figure why not learn to make breads that he could have with his cafe con leche. As a result I came across several scone recipes but not having all ingredients available at home I was limited to what I can make.
So here you have Lime Scones.

What you'll need:

SCONES-
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
9 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoons lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

GLAZE-
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water

- In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
- In a separate small bowl whisk milk, lime juice, and lime zest.
-Take the butter pieces and cut them into the flour mixture until it resembles a crumbly mixture.
-Slowly add milk/lime mixture to flour mixture and mix with wooden/plastic spoon
-Turn dough onto floured surface and knead dough about 6 or 7 times
-Form dough into a ball and roll out into a circle about 1 inch thick
-Cut dough into 10-12 wedges
-Place wedges on lightly sprayed baking sheet about and inch apart
-Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden brown

Note: If you don't have a baking sheet and use a pan with 2 inch sides baking time with be longer. Just remember you want to achieve a golden brown edge.

Wait until the scones are ready to prepare the glaze otherwise it will harden on the surface.

-In a small bowl mix confectioners sugar, melted butter, lime juice, and vanilla extract.
-Slowly add 2 tablespoons of water to mixture so that gaze is easy to drizzle
-Drizzle glaze over warm scones

Note: This is a glaze so it is meant to me very thin and dry clear, if you are looking for a thicker glaze (like icing) omit water and add 1/2 cup more confectioners sugar

Try it and Enjoy!
