Glazed Lemon Blueberry Scones Recipe

Ingredients:​

• For the Scones:
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or as needed for consistency)

Instructions:​

1. Preheat and Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the Butter:
   • Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Blueberries and Lemon:
   • Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Shape and Bake:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 8 triangles or use a round cutter for classic scone shapes.
   • Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Prepare the Glaze:
   • While the scones are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Adjust the milk to reach your desired consistency.
9. Glaze and Serve:
   • Once the scones are cool enough to handle, drizzle the glaze over them. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Savor the Sweetness! ​

Enjoy these scones with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect pairing. Their zesty lemon flavor and sweet blueberries are sure to make your day a little brighter!
