🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the fresh blueberries gently, being mindful not to squish them.

7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a thick 8-inch round disc and cut it into 8 equal wedges.

8. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges.

10. While the scones bake, make the orange glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth and consistent.

11. Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Drizzle the orange glaze generously over the cooled scones. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

13. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
