Want to impress people with your baking skills but need a low effort recipe to follow? Look no further! These delicious scones are the perfect mix of fluffy and flaky with blueberries that will burst with flavor in your mouth. Can be made with or without the sweet lemon glaze, but I highly recommend using with.
Ingredients:
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp of granulated sugar
6 tbsp chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of fresh blueberries
2 lemons for lemon zest (about 2 tbsp)
3/4 cup of buttermilk
Glaze:
1 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of buttermilk
1 tbsp of lemon zest
1/2 tsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Form dough into a ball and then flatten into a 1-inch thick circle. Transfer circle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut the circle into 8 "pie" looking slices. Separate slices to be one inch or more apart.o scone success. The cold butter will coat the flour that creates the crumbs. When these crumbs cook in the oven, it creates a beautiful fluffy texture!
Fold in blueberries and then add buttermilk. Gently mix to form dough. Do not over mix!
