Add zest and thyme; toss to combine. Stir in 2/3 cup cream just until combined.
Transfer dough to a work surface; shape into an 8-inch round with lightly floured hands. Cut dough into 8 wedges; transfer to prepared baking sheet, spaced at least 1-inch apart. Lightly brush tops of scones with remaining 2 Tbsp. cream; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake scones until golden and set, 20–25minutes.
For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice; drizzle liberally over warm scones.

These were AMAZING!! I had never made a scone, but it was really easy and they were extremely delicious. I’d pay good money for these scones. Can’t wait to make them again and try some variations! Thanks so much for this recipe!
