Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • For the vanilla glaze:
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.
  3. Add ½ cup (115 g) cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Gently fold in the zest of 1 large lemon and 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, being careful not to break the berries.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk ¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour wet ingredients into the dry bowl and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky—do not overwork.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick circle about 8 inches (20 cm) wide. Cut into 8 wedges.
  8. Place wedges about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let scones cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
  11. Meanwhile, whisk together 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm scones.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold, especially butter and cream, to create flaky texture. Do not overmix dough to avoid dense scones. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking and color bleed. Tent with foil if browning too fast after 15 minutes. Glaze while scones are warm for best texture.
