Rhubarb Meyer Lemon Scones
Monday, May 25th, 2009
I have a wonderful friend named Linda who happens to have a Meyer lemon tree in her yard, and who very generously shares them with me. When she brought a bag to choir a few weeks ago, I was thinking of making scones out of them. Then I decided to combine with something else I love: rhubarb. Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange, so they’re sweeter than a normal lemon. They also have a thinner and less bitter peel, which has a nice floral aroma that went really well with the rhubarb. I based these scones on a recipe from Baking Bites, but added a filling of the rhubarb, which I just stewed with a bit of sugar until it was falling apart.
