  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Line the base and sides of a shallow baking tin with parchment paper.
  2. Put the flour in a food processor with the salt and butter. Whizz until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the lemon zest. Add two tablespoons of lemon juice to a jug. Add enough water to the jug to make up to 120ml, then add to the food processor with the pecans.
  4. Whizz everything together into a dough. Add a splash of water if the dough is very dry.
  5. Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and roll out to 2cm thick. Cut out scones using a round cutter and transfer them to the baking tray. Brush the scones with the reserved lemon juice.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire tray to cool. Store the scones in an airtight container for up to three days.
