Create tall, tender, bakery-style blueberry scones with a flaky crumb using the cold butter technique. This easy recipe includes a quick lemon glaze perfect for brunch or tea time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  8. Cut the round into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little extra heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  11. While the scones bake, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Add a tiny bit more lemon juice or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
  12. Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before drizzling with the lemon glaze.

Notes

  • For frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to the dough.
  • Ensure your butter is very cold for the flakiest results.
  • You can substitute the lemon juice with milk or vanilla extract in the glaze if preferred.
