Ingredients

For the Scones:

  • 2 c. all purpose flour, or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. very cold butter, cut into 1/4 in. pieces
  • 1/2 c. half & half or heavy cream, plus 2 TBSP. more for brushing tops of scones
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP. lemon juice
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 1 c. fresh blueberries

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 3 TBSP. lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in Butter: Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the half & half, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sour cream.
  • Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
  • Shape & Cut: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently shape it into a 1-inch thick disc. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush & Bake: Brush the tops with the extra 2 TBSP. of half & half. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  • Make the Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.
  • Enjoy!: Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed fresh!
