Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen in the winter months)
Glaze
- 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400.
-
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, zest, and baking powder together. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter and mix the dough until the butter is about the size of peas and the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Mix heavy cream and egg together, and slowly drizzle into the scone batter while stirring gently. Stir just until combined.
-
Lastly, add in the blueberries and fold in gently.
-
On a floured surface, turn out the dough and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the dough into eighths, place on a greased baking sheet, brush with heavy cream, and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
While the scones are cooling, mix together lemon juice, powdered sugar, and zest. Once combined, drizzle the glaze over the scones.

Enjoy!
