Ingredients

scones-

  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, measured then sifted
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Cube 7 Tbsp butter and place into the freezer until needed, reserving 1 Tbsp.
  • Combine the flour with the baking powder. Add in the frozen butter and mix gently until coarse crumbs. Add the blueberries and combine.
  • In a bowl, cream together the sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cream.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and with a spatula until combined. Tip: You can add flour mixture onto the working surface and create a well, pour in wet ingredients. Mix until coarse and crumbly.
  • Generously dust the working surface with flour. Transfer the dough and shape it into a rectangle about 3/4″ in thickness.
  • With a sharp knife, cut dough into triangles and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 Tbsp melted butter on top of the scones.
  • Bake scones for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden.
  • Allow the scones to cool before drizzling with the combined powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Notes

  • To freeze uncooked:  Add scones to a platter and freeze then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake the frozen scones frozen and just add a couple more minutes to the baking time. 
  • Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, just add frozen.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries may be use.
