So I am doing a little baking today. The wife had asked me specifically for one of my dishes for breakfast, so how could I refuse her? Blueberry Lemon Scones seem intimidating, I know the first time I ever made them I thought they would be way out of my skill range for some reason ( I think it was because I saw Gordon Ramsey yell at someone for screwing them up on TV lol) but no they really aren’t difficult to make and are well worth the process.
Blueberry Lemon Scones Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 6 Tbsp. Butter
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 1/4 Cup Frech Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp. Lemon Zest
- 1/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 Cup Blueberries
- 1/2 Cup Powder Sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut cold butter into small pieces and put on top of dry ingredients. Mix until butter breaks up into tiny pieces.
- Stir in Milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Remove from mixing bowl, and on a lightly floured surface and fold blueberries into the dough. Be careful not squish any to avoid them bleeding.
- Form dough into a rough rectangle about an inch thick. Cut down the middle to divide in half (creating two large squares). Then cut each square in fours diagonally so you end up with 8 smaller triangles.
- Coat cooking pan with a non-stick spray (like pam) and places scones on pan at least 2 inches apart, and bake for 15-17 minutes.
- While scones are baking mix powder sugar, 1 tsp. of lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest together to make a lemon glaze.
- Once scones are done baking allow to cool a bit and drizzle with your glaze.
Notes
These come out being nice large scones, not the little puny ones you may find in a grocery store. This is a great little add on to any brunch (or it may be all someone eats like my daughter any time I make them lol).
