Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to crush the blueberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir gently until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky; avoid overmixing!
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles or use a round cutter for a classic scone shape.
Baking
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Glazing
- While the scones cool, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm scones, and enjoy them fresh from the oven!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
