Hello! Today I’m sharing this super delicious scone recipe with you. I’ve made scones several times in the past with berries or chocolate chips but since we have a lot of lemon lovers in our family I decided to switch it up a bit. I made these for a ladies brunch I hosted last year and they were a big hit! Plus I love recipes you can make ahead of time to make the morning go more smoothly.
Glazed Lemon Blueberry Scones
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for hands and work surface
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, frozen
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Scone pan
Glaze:
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted
- 2-3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Adjust the baking rack to the middle-low position. Spray a scone pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Grate the frozen butter, toss it into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cream, egg and vanilla together. Drizzle it over the flour mixture and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Gently fold in the blueberries. Try not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a ball with floured hands as best you can and transfer to a floured surface. I use a cookie scoop to transfer the dough to my scone pan. Level it out using a spoon and sprinkle a little sugar over top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
- To make the glaze, simply whisk the confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add another tablespoon of lemon juice to thin it out, if necessary. Drizzle the glaze over scones right before serving.
- Enjoy!
