The Best Lemon Blueberry Scone Recipe
One of my favorite memories is taking cooking classes with a few girlfriends – we had such a great time! They were taught by some of the best chef’s in our area and their food did not disappoint. It sounded like we were watching a fireworks show with every bite we took! It was so good and flavorful that we chewed as slow as we could to savor the taste!
I was so inspired to try new things and get creative in the kitchen, starting with these Blueberry Lemon Scones!
If you love bakery-style buttery scones as much as I do, then you should try making Chocolate Chip Scones and Strawberry Scones, too!
What You’ll Need for the Dough:
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp Flour
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- 1/2 cup Butter, Cold & Cubed
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 3/4 cup Blueberries
And the Glaze:
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 2-3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest, Optional
How to Make the Best Blueberry Lemon Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp lemon zest.
- Once combined, cut in 1/2 cup cold & cubed butter with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until just combined.
- Fold in 3/4 cup blueberries until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1″ thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
- Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the scones are cooling, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest (if desired) to make the glaze. If the icing seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in the last tbsp of lemon juice.
- Drizzle glaze over the scones.
