Time 49m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing the scones
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
  • Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough.
  • Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches.
  • Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares.
  • Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape.
  • Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
  • Technically you should make this simple lemon glaze in a double boiler (i.e. over a pot of simmering water with a heatproof bowl set on top) but it's even simpler to zap it in the microwave.
  • Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the lemon zest and butter.
  • Nuke it for 30 seconds on high.
  • Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones.
  • Let it set a minute before serving.

These scones were amazing! I loved the combination of blueberries and lemon. The glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would add a little more baking powder next time. The lemon glaze was very good, though.

These scones were very easy to make and they turned out great! I used frozen blueberries and they worked just fine. I also added a handful of chopped walnuts for some extra crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of blueberries, but I thought I'd give these scones a try anyway. I'm glad I did! They were so good, even without the blueberries. The lemon glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

These scones were delicious, but I found them to be a little too sweet. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time. The lemon glaze was perfect, though.

These blueberry scones were a bit denser than I expected, but they were still very good. The lemon glaze helped to lighten them up a bit. I would probably add a little more sugar to the glaze next time.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit. My friends and family love them! I like to add a little extra lemon zest to the glaze for a more pronounced citrus flavor.
