1½ cups plus 2 tablespoons cold heavy whipping cream, divided
¼ teaspoon lemon extract
Garnish: Strawberry Curd and fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray a 16-well mini scone pan† with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking well. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add thyme and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine 1½ cups cream and lemon extract, stirring well. Add cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. (If mixture seems dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is uniformly moist.)
Divide dough evenly among wells of prepared pan, pressing to create a level surface. Brush each scone with remaining 2 tablespoons cream.
Bake until edges are light golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean, approximately 24 minutes.
Garnish with Strawberry Curd and fresh thyme, if desired.
