Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into 10-12 small pieces
8-10 tbsp fresh Meyer lemon juice
1-2 tsp Meyer lemon zest

For Glaze:
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. melted butter
Juice of one lemon (but you might not need all of it)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter and toss to coat. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse sand. A few large bits are ok, but most should be smaller than a pea.
Add 5-6 tablespoons of lemon juice and zest and stir dough with a fork. Add remaining juice until dough comes together into a not-too-moist ball. Divide dough in to two balls and flatten onto baking sheet to for discs about 1-inch thick. Divide each disc into quarters and separate slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until scones are a light golden color. A toothpick should come out clean, but color is a reliable indicator for these.

For glaze: mix the sugar, butter and juice of half the lemon in a bowl. Add more lemon juice as required to get the consistency you want for the glaze. Glaze the scones hot from the oven. Makes 8.
