Ingredients

  • 240 g flour

  • 1 Tbsp baking powder

  • 2 Tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 75 g unsalted cold butter (cut in chunks)

  • 125 g blueberry

  • 200 ml heavy cream

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 120 g powdered sugar

  • 1 lemon

Steps

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Add sugar, salt, then whisk all together.
  • Add the butter, using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in butter until the largest pieces are the size of peas. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
  • Add blueberry and fold into the mixture. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.

  • Pat dough into a 6-inch square about 1 1/4 inches thick. Using a knife, cut into triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • lemon glaze: In a double boiler, add the butter, zest of one organic lemon, powdered sugar, and 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice. Simply whisk all together until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water.
  • Drizzle lightly the glaze over the top of the scones.
