Blueberry Scones

Ingredients

Servings:
2cups All Purpose Flour
3tbsp Granulated sugar
1tbsp Baking Powder
.75tsp Kosher Salt
6tbsp Unsalted Butter, cold
1.5cup Blueberries, fresh
1tsp Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
1tsp Lemon zest, fine
5.5tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
2large Eggs

Instructions

Preheat to 400 degrees.

In a food processor or large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into large chunks and pulse the food processor until the butter chunks are the size of small peas.

In a separate bowl, stir together the blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside for a few minutes so the flavors blend together.

Whisk together cream and eggs in a separate bowl or a large measuring cup.

Gently stir blueberry mixture into dry mixture. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and pour in liquid. Stir lightly until dough starts to come together.

Gently knead the dough a few times to mix well, be careful not to break the blueberries! Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 6-inch square about 1.25″ thick. Using a floured knife, cut into four 3″ squares. Cut squares in half on the diagonal to make eight triangles. Transfer triangles to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake 20-22 minutes until golden brown.

Optional: sprinkle with finely grated lemon zest and a drizzle of honey or your favorite glaze.
