Blueberries burst with a light lemon flavor in these tender scones. I froze the blueberries to make them easier to work with in the dough and it turned out quite well.
Blueberry Lemon Scones
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 lemon - use all the zest in the dough
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1/4 cup
6 oz frozen blueberries
Glaze
3/4 cup powdered sugar
lemon juice from 1/2 of the fresh lemon
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the dough turns into course crumbs. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream,egg and milk. Add into the dry ingredients and stir until it's completely combined. Fold in frozen blueberries. Turn out on to a floured surface. Pat into a circle that is approximately 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Cut into 8 slices and put onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spread out since the scores will spread slightly. Brush 2 tbsp whipping cream on top of the scones. Bake for 18 minutes at 400°. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow to sit for 15 minutes and then spoon glaze over the scones.
