Ingredients 

Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup heavy cream plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool slightly before serving.
