Easy Lemon Scones


We awoke to a snow-frosted lawn, a rarity here in Mississippi.
As a treat, I made Easy Lemon Scones for breakfast..
They were a hit with everyone!
The kids and Larry thought they were tasty, and I thought they were an easy, convenient recipe to make. They went together really quickly and all needed ingredients were in my pantry/fridge!
No fresh lemons on hand? Substitute a teaspoon of lemon flavoring for the lemon rind in the batter.
For the topping, mix sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and use as directed.

Easy Lemon Scones

2 2/3 c. biscuit mix
5 tbsp. sugar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
grated rind of one lemon
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. milk or buttermilk

Topping:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine first 4 ingredients. Mix egg with milk. Add to dry ingredients. Mix into soft ball.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Gently roll or pat dough to about ½ inch thickness, lightly flouring as necessary to prevent sticking. Cut out rounds using 2-inch floured biscuit cutter. Set 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.

In a small bowl combine topping ingredients. Brush tops of scones with about half of lemon and sugar mixture before baking. Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Brush with remaining topping.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
