Blueberry Lemon Scones
Blueberry lemon scones are the perfect homemade scone recipe with a delicate texture and the perfect combination of flavors with the fresh lemon and blueberries, topped with a simple lemon glaze. I am slightly obsessed with scones. And if you have some blueberries in the fridge, go ahead and use them in these blueberry lemon scones.
How to Make Scones
Start by mixing together the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, just mix them together in a bowl. Then cut the cold butter in a few pats at a time. The dough will be flaky. Then transfer to a bowl and add your buttermilk.
Stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients till it is just combined. Add the zest of one lemon. Knead several times to combine. The dough will be sticky. So, have extra flour handy. Then carefully knead in one cup of blueberries. To make the scones you can split the dough in half and roll out each half to a round that is half an inch thick and cut like a pie forming 8 small triangles. Or roll the dough out to be about a half of inch thick large piece and use a biscuit cutter to form round scones. Then reroll dough similar to how you would do with sugar cookie cutouts.
Bake the scones at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes or the scones are golden.
And now it is time for the lemon glaze. Mix the juice of one lemon, about 2 tablespoons with 2 cups of powdered sugar.
Add more powdered sugar till you get to the thickness you like for glaze. I dip my cooled scones into the glaze. But feel free to drizzle the glaze over top instead.
