Why we love Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze Recipe

Our Lemon Coconut Scones with Lemon Glaze are just perfect for spring!  They're simple to make and go along perfectly with any weekend brunch menu.  They've got rich, lovely lemon flavor because they're made with Mother E Lemon Essential Oil.  I love to cook with essential oils for so many reason but mostly because the flavor is so rich and full bodied.
