Blueberry Scones
Prepare work space and gather all ingredients.
Preheat oven to 375°F
Ingredients:
2 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Cold Butter (Unsalted)
1/2 Cup 35% Cream
1/2 Cup Blueberries (or as desired)
2 Large Eggs
Zest from one Lemon
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
Method:
Mix together dry ingredients.
Grate cold butter and then mix butter with dry ingredients using a pasty blender.
Add eggs, cream and lemon zest.
(Do not over mix the dough - less is best for a light and fluffy scone.)
Gently fold in the blueberries with the dough mixture.
Rather than rolling the dough, spoon the dough into a scone pan and then flatten with back of spoon to even out the batter and shape the scone. Brush the top of the scones with melted butter.
Bake at 375°F for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the scones are a golden brown.
Serve with lemon curd and cream, if desired.
