Step 1

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a spatula give it a quick mix.

Step 2

Add the cold butter that you can cut into small pieces, or you can use a grater and grate it like I do. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a crumbly mixture.

Step 3

Next, add the lemon zest and the blueberries and gently mix all together.

Step 4

After that, add the bitten egg and the milk. Using a spatula, gently combine all the ingredients until no dry flour remains.

Step 5

Slightly flour the work surface and dump the dough on top. Gently knead the dough just to bring all the pieces together. Then press the dough into an 8-inch circle.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and cut into 8 wedges. Brush the top with half and half and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 7

Pop the tray into the oven heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden-brown. Let them cool.

Step 8

To make the scones more sophisticated you can make the simple lemon glaze. All you’ll need is the powdered sugar, lemon juice and a splash of vanilla. Whisk all the ingredients until smooth.

Drizzle it over the scones and enjoy these heavenly good baking treats.

Tips to make Blueberries Lemon Scones Recipe:

Before making the scones dough make sure that all the ingredients are refrigerated cold.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet and preheat your oven to 400°F degrees (200°C).
To combine the cold butter and the dry ingredients you can cut the butter into small cubes, or you can use a grater.

This recipe calls for fresh blueberries, but you can definitely use frozen ones instead as well. Just make sure to thaw them, wash them, and then pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towel before using in this recipe.
You can store the baked Blueberry Lemon Scones at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
You can form the dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and then place it in the fridge the night before you intend to bake them.
