Blueberry Classic Scones with Lemon Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 8-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- While the scones are cooling, make the lemon glaze by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled scones. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
