Another Foodie Friday submission from The Erratic Cook, a chef in her own mind from right here in Okotoks.
Luscious Lemon Scones with White Chocolate Drizzle
Preheat oven to 350
2 ½ cups flour
¼ cup butter
¼ cup sunflower oil
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ cup sugar
Rind of one lemon
Cut all these ingredients together
Then mix together the following and add to the above mixture.
1 cup buttermilk
Juice of one lemon
1 egg
Blend all together gently – do not over mix
Scoop large spoonfuls onto baking sheet or two – this will make 12 large scones
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until starting to brown.
While scones are baking – melt one square of white chocolate with a bit of butter
When the scones come out of the oven drizzle with the chocolate and serve up.
Til next time

These scones for a late brunch with coffee and some fresh fruit should help keep your Thanksgiving guests content until turkey time this weekend. Enjoy!
