Overview
- Crónica details a classic lemon scone using wheat flour with egg, sunflower oil, sugar or sweetener, milk, lemon juice and zest, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- The LA GACETA version skips wheat flour by combining two cups of oats with one cup of cornstarch, plus egg, oil, milk, sugar or honey, and orange juice and zest.
- Both recipes bake at about 180°C until lightly golden, with timing ranging from roughly 12 to 20 minutes depending on the dough and size.
- Serving suggestions include enjoying them warm with jam, powdered sugar, honey, coffee, tea, or mate, with notes on keeping them tender after baking.
- Variation tips include boosting citrus zest or vanilla, swapping some milk for yogurt for extra moisture, sprinkling sugar before baking, and freezing for later reheating.
