Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter cold
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Blueberries fresh
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Lemon Zest
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk for brushing
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar for sprinkling

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
  • In a food processor, add your flour and butter.  Pulse about 10 times, or until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • Add baking powder, sugar and salt.  Pulse again to mix.
  • Transfer this butter and flour mixture to a large mixing bowl.  Add the cream, and mix until the dry ingredients are wet. Add the lemon zest and the blueberries and carefully fold in with a rubber spatula, trying not to mash the blueberries.  Do not overmix!
  • Spray a 9-10" cake pan with non-stick spray, then gently and evenly pat the scone dough in the bottom of the cake pan.  
  • Invert the dough onto a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Use a knife to slice into 8 even triangles.
  • Separate the scones a little on the prepared baking sheet.  Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.  
  • Bake at 425 for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make your lemon glaze.  Add the powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice to a small bowl and mix well, making sure there are no lumps of sugar.  Add up to 1 tablespoon more lemon juice as needed to reach the desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the hot scones with the lemon glaze, and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
