INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and pat dry
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 or 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
PREPARATION:
- To make the blueberry scones: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
Work butter pieces into the dry ingredients until you get a coarse texture do not overwork the butter.
Stir in blueberries and lemon zest. - In a small bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add the cream and egg mixture; stir lightly with a fork or a spatula just until the scone dough comes together. - Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Pat into a 6-inch round, about 1 1/2 inches thick.
Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, cut the dough into four parts. Cut each part in half diagonally to form a total of eight wedges.
Transfer the wedges to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with more sugar. - Bake the blueberry scones until the tops are golden brown about 20 to 22 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the baked blueberry scones to a wire rack and let cool completely. - While the blueberry scones are cooling down, combine the ingredients for the glaze until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the scones.
Enjoy!
