Looking for the perfect brunch menu? Seve these scones alongside sticky buns and a frittata to impress your guests.
This is my favorite blueberry scones recipe. Made with sweet, juicy blueberries, fresh lemon zest, and a drizzle of lemon cream cheese icing, They’re simply perfection! They turn out crisp on the outside yet tender and moist in the center. Scone perfection!
In a separate bowl, whisk together, the cream, lemon zest, and egg. Then add to the bowl with the flour mixture.
Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse bread crumbs.
Stir in the wet ingredients until combined then add the blueberries and fold them into the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil and sprinkle with a little flour. Scrape the dough onto the floured pan, and work it into a ball. Then flatten it into a disc (about 7 inches in diameter), and cut it into 8 equal-sized pieces.
You can either separate them with a little space between them or leave them as is.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-10 minutes so that the dough is thoroughly chilled.
Brush the tops with a little heavy whipping cream. Then, place them in the oven and bake until they’re lightly browned and golden on top.
Prepare the icing glaze.
Drizzle with the icing and serve. I like them best warm, but they are really good at room temperature too.
