Ingredients

FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup cream (whole or whipping cream)
  • ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 2¼ cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt*
  • zest lemon
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries**
*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 sugar (white or brown or half and half)
  • 6 tablespoons all purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
FOR THE LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES
  1. Beat on medium speed the eggs then add the cream and brown sugar, beat just until combined.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
