Scones are my new favorite thing right now!
I am a firm believer of something sweet for breakfast, almost always!
After my savory breakfast, I'm craving a sweet bite.
Scones are super easy to make, so no intimidation here. Made with the simplest ingredients, anyone can bake these babies.
You have to try it for yourself!
Enjoy :)
Lemon Blueberry Scones
Yield: 8-10 scones
Easy
Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, grated
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 lemon, zested
1 ⅓ cups and 1 tbsp heavy cream plus more to brush
½ cup blueberries
Lemon glaze
¾ cup confectioners/powdered sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice (half lemon)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Mix and toss the grated butter into the flour mixture, so it's evenly distributed. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour in the heavy cream and fold everything together, trying not to overwork. Press the dough on a lightly floured surface, about 9 inch round and cut into 8 round pieces using a biscuit cutter. Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with heavy cream. Bake for about 18 minutes until slightly brown on top.
Glaze- whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm scones and serve and let it set before serving.
Note: Size can vary, depending on how you want to stretch the dough when you press it for thickness. You can make a rectangle or keep it round and cut in squares, rounds or triangles.
Keep in mind, if you cut into smaller pieces, then you would bake in less time.
10 scones- bake for about 15 minutes
8 scones- 16-18 minutes
