Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 8 triangular wedges.
Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
While the scones are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the scones are done baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm scones and serve. Enjoy!
