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.
