This recipe was adapted from the lemon scones recipe used by Amherst Shore County Inn located in Amherst Nova Scotia. The scones are very lightly flavored with lemon, just enough. Would be amazingly good with Lemon Curd, even adding a bit in a indention in the scones before baking would be wonderful!
