One of my patients- as a thank you - brought in these beautiful scones - the taste was different than most scones I had in the past - with a crisp lemon zest and not dry at all - so I say thanks Linda and I am taking the priviledge of sharing her recipe with all of you! Read more !! enjoy See less
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached flour (plus more for rolling berries) shopping list
- 1 rounded tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/3 cup sugar shopping list
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into chunks shopping list
- ¾ cup heavy cream shopping list
- 1 egg (extra large or jumbo) shopping list
- lemon zest from one lemon shopping list
- 1 pint fresh blueberries shopping list
- sugar in the raw (used on top) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or 2 forks. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs. Add lemon zest.
- In another bowl, mix cream and egg; add to flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do not overwork the dough.
- Toss blueberries in flour, then fold into batter. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle scones with sugar in the raw to coat tops.
- Bake for about 15 – 20 minutes until lightly browned. Serve hot or warm.
- (Enjoy! Can be warmed the next day in the microwave oven- 15-20 seconds, if there are any left!)
