Ingredients
FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup cream whole or whipping cream
- ¼ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 2¼ cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- zest lemon
- ½ cup butter cold
- 1 cup Blueberry frozen
*I use salted butter if you use unsalted add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
**If you use fresh blueberries be sure to freeze them for at least 2 hours.
CRUMB TOPPING
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2½ tablespoons white sugar or brown sugar or half and half
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES
- Beat on medium speed the eggs then add the cream and brown sugar, beat just until combined.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and zest, then cut in the butter to form coarse crumbs. Make a well in the centre and add the egg mixture, stir just until combined (15 stirs).
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface and knead gently 3-4 times to combine, pat into a rectangle with the palm of your hand, then sprinkle the berries on top and fold the dough over like an envelope. Gently pat the dough into an 8 inch circle, brush with a little milk, sprinkle with the streusel topping, cut the circle into 8 triangles, place the triangles on the prepared cookie sheet (make sure they aren't touching). Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy!
Notes
- Scones should be stored at room temperature in an airtight plastic bag or container. Although they should be eaten within 2 days.
- Place the cooled scones in an airtight container or freezer bag. The scones will last for about 2 to 3 months. To defrost them, leave them in the bag or container and defrost at room temperature for 2-3 hours before serving.
