Description

Delightful and easy-to-make scones bursting with the refreshing flavors of blueberries and lemon, perfect for breakfast or tea time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (Plus extra for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, unthawed)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (For glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (For glaze)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients ensuring the butter is cold.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and work it into the flour until it resembles a coarse, crumb-like consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the fresh or unthawed frozen blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a disc about 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
  8. Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place them on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Brush the tops of each scone with additional heavy cream.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 16–18 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  12. For the optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until thick yet pourable.
  13. Drizzle over the warm scones.
