Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- 2 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, cold and cubed
- Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup
- Whole milk
- 1/2 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (for glaze)
- Powdered sugar
- 1 cup (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it holds together.
- Pat the dough into a round disc, about 1-inch thick, and cut it into 8 wedges. Alternatively, you can use a round biscuit cutter for a more classic shape.
- Transfer the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Once the scones are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top for a sweet finishing touch.
Tips
- For a fun twist, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for an extra citrusy flavor.
- These scones freeze well; simply wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat them in the oven when you're ready to enjoy.
