--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Scones:
   2               cups  All-Purpose Flour -- (240g)
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
      1/3           cup  granulated sugar -- (66g)
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
      1/4      teaspoon  baking soda
   2        tablespoons  King Arthur Lemon Juice Powder -- (18g), see note
   6        tablespoons  butter -- cold, (85g), cut into pieces
   2              large  eggs
      1/3           cup  yogurt -- (74g), plain or lemon
      1/2      teaspoon  Vanilla Extract
      1/8      teaspoon  lemon oil -- to 1/4tsp, to taste, see note
                         Glaze:
      1/2           cup  confectioners' sugar -- (57g)
   2          teaspoons  King Arthur Lemon Juice Powder -- (6g), see note
   2        tablespoons  heavy cream -- to 3T, (28g to 43g)

Note: Don't have lemon juice powder? In the dough, add 2T freshly 
squeezed lemon juice to the wet dough ingredients and reduce the 
yogurt to 1/4C (57g) and in the glaze, add 1T lemon juice and reduce 
the cream by 1T.

Note: You can substitute 1tsp lemon zest for the lemon oil.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Grease the wells of a mini scone pan. 
Alternatively, lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment.

To make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the cold butter into 
the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse meal.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla 
extract, and lemon oil. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

To make mini scones: Divide the dough evenly among the wells of the 
pan, using about 3 tablespoons in each. Smooth the tops with wet fingers.

To make full-size scones: On a lightly floured work surface, pat the 
dough into a 4" x 10" rectangle about 1" thick. Cut the rectangle 
into four 4" x 2 1/2" rectangles, then cut each of those rectangles 
in half diagonally to make eight triangular scones. Place the scones 
on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1/2" between them.

To bake: Bake the scones for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly 
browned. Remove them from the oven. If you've used a mini-scone pan, 
let the scones cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using a 
thin-bladed spatula to transfer them to a rack to finish cooling. If 
you've baked full-size scones, let them cool right on the pan.

To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together all the 
ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.

Storage information: Store any leftover scones, well wrapped, at room 
temperature for up to three days; freeze for longer storage.
