Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, unthawed)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for optional glaze)

Instructions

  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, salt, and finely grated lemon zest.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and work it into the mixture until you achieve a coarse, crumb-like consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, large egg, and pure vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh or unthawed frozen blueberries into the dough.
  7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a disc approximately 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
  8. Divide the disc into 8 equal wedges and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Lightly brush the tops of each scone with a small amount of additional heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown and fully cooked through.
  11. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  12. For the optional glaze, combine powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and drizzle over the warm scones.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the dough to ensure the scones are tender.
  • For best results, use cold butter and cream.
  • You can substitute blueberries with other berries if desired.
