Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, frozen and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Using a pastry cutter or forks, work the frozen butter cubes into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries until just incorporated; do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into an 8-inch disc, approximately 1 inch thick.
  7. Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until the edges are mahogany-colored and the tops are golden brown.
  9. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones before serving.
