Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid smashing them.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 9

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

While the scones are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes after baking, then drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
