Ingredients

Scale

Scones

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cold whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Meyer Lemon Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients and Blueberries: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them, so they remain whole within the dough.
  3. Add Whipping Cream: Carefully stir in the cold whipping cream to moisten the flour mixture. Mix gently to incorporate without breaking the berries.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it gently with your hands just until the dough comes together, avoiding overworking it to keep the scones tender.
  5. Shape and Cut: Divide the dough into 4 balls, then flatten each into a disc about 5 inches in diameter. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each disc into 8 equal triangles.
  6. Bake the Scones: Place the cut scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
  7. Cool Before Glazing: Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes to set and prevent the glaze from melting too much.
  8. Prepare and Apply Lemon Glaze: Whisk together the Meyer lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the cooled scones evenly to add a sweet and tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to keep the dough from becoming too wet.
  • Handle the dough gently to avoid crushing blueberries and to keep the scones tender.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more lemon juice or powdered sugar to your preference.
  • Scones are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the whipping cream with a plant-based cream alternative.
