Blueberry and Lemon Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
-
Use a sharp knife or a round biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges or rounds.
-
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little extra heavy cream.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
