Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze
These scones are bursting with blueberries and have the perfect balance of sweet and tangy thanks to the lemon glaze. They come together in minutes with very little fuss. I always use frozen blueberries for this recipe as they tend to be larger and sweeter than fresh and I add them just before baking so the dough doesn’t turn blue.
- Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- Lemon Glaze:
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 cups icing sugar
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease with butter. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix together well. In a separate bowl, stir together the butter, eggs and milk. Pour into flour mixture, and combine until a sticky dough is formed. Using a spoon, scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the dough and place it onto the cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Press the blueberries one at a time into each scone, so that they are covered by the dough at the sides. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Meanwhile, combine the butter and lemon juice in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Add the icing sugar and stir until the glaze is smooth. It will thicken a little upon standing. When the scones are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Then drizzle the lemon glaze over top.
