Easy Blueberry Scones with Lemon Butter Glaze

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 8 tablespoons cold butter

  (1 stick), diced small
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• lemon zest

  finely grated (1 lemon)
• 1 1/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon butter

  melted

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment
  paper.
• 2 Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into
  the dry ingredients with a fork, fingers, or two knives. (Or use a food
  processor with a metal blade to speed things up. Just a couple of pulses will
  do.)
• 3 Stir in the lemon zest and fold the blueberries into the flour mixture. Make a
  well in the center and pour the buttermilk or heavy cream. Stir until just
  incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• 4 Using a large scoop or spoon, place 12 dollops of scone dough on 2 prepared
  baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the
  top turns golden brown.
• 5 Lemon Butter Glaze
• 6 Combine the reserved lemon juice, confectioners’ sugar, and melted butter in a
  small bowl for the glaze. Whisk until the lumps disappear. Once the scones have
  cooled, drizzle each scone with the glaze.
