How to Make Lemon Blueberry Scones (Step-by-Step)
- Making these delicious Lemon Blueberry Scones is incredibly easy and you’ll only need 15 minutes to prep them! Here’s how to make them step by step:
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Next, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Now add pieces of cold butter to the mixture and cut into the dough using a pastry cutter until the texture turns crumby. Cover the bowl with a lid and place it in the fridge so the butter doesn’t melt or soften.
- Next, zest the yellow part of the lemon skin (the outside of the lemon) using a zester. Set aside until ready for use.
- Beat eggs into a medium bowl, then add the sugar and beat on high using a hand mixer until foamy and light in color.
- Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat once more for 15 seconds or until all combined.
- Now pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Then add fresh blueberries and using a silicone spatula fold everything together until combined. Make sure to not overmix the dough though.
- Transfer crumby scone mixture onto lightly floured work surface.
- Split the dough into two portions and gently press and roll the dough together using your hands. Sprinkle a little flour if needed when working it into a ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Press each ball into a disk using your hands and then cut into equal size wedges using a dough cutter, knife, or bench scraper.
How to Bake Lemon Blueberry Scones
- Carefully transfer uncooked scones onto a 15 X 21 baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake scones in the preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to warm before glazing.
How to Glaze Scones
- Time to make the glaze! Start by combining together confectioners’ sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well until smooth.
- Transfer the glaze into a sandwich bag, cut the tip off the bag and drizzle warm scones.
- Your delicious Lemon Blueberry Scones are ready to be served! You can serve them with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk.
