Theodosia knows she'll have to whet her investigative skills to find the killer among a raft of suspects.

A YUMMY RECIPE FROM SCONES & BONES:

LEMON SCONES

 from SCONES & BONES by Laura Childs

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups all purpose, unbleached flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

½ cup sugar

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1 cup buttermilk

zest of one lemon

½ cup walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 egg

DIRECTIONS:

Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.   

In a separate bowl, combine lemon zest and sugar, using a spoon to firmly grind it all together.  Add the sugar to the flour mixture and mix well.   

Cut butter into mixture until you get an even, crumbly consistency.  Mix in nuts.  Pour in the buttermilk and stir thoroughly until mixture forms a dense dough.   

Take a good sized lump of dough and gently form into a triangular scone shape.   

Place scone on a baking sheet lined with parchment, then continue forming scones until mixture is used up. 

Whisk an egg with 1 Tbsp of water to form egg wash, then brush egg wash on top of each scone.   

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown
