Delight in these buttery Lemon Blueberry Scones This irresistible recipe combines zesty lemon fresh blueberries for a perfect treat
Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup fresh blueberries
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a couple of times until it comes together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little extra buttermilk.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
