Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche, heavy cream, egg, and egg yolk.

Step 2

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, butter, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low-speed until the mixture resembles cornmeal.

Step 3

Add the crème fraîche mixture and mix until the dough is just moistened. It will look under-mixed and crumbly at this point, but it is important to stop as you will finish the mixing when you press the dough into the pan. The less you handle the dough, the flakier your scones will be.

Step 4

In an 8-in square baking pan, firmly press the dough as evenly as possible. Use a rolling-pin to level the top if possible. The dough should be about 1-in thick. Brush the top with cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Step 5

Mark and cut the dough into 1-in squares. Carefully separate the cubes and put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 1 hr, or wrap tightly and freeze up to 1 month.

Step 6

When you're ready to make the scones, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the frozen dough squares 1 1/2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are toasted and golden brown, 10-12 min.
