Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 large lemon , zested
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 cups cold butter , cubed
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. 2

   To make the scones: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor; pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in blueberries, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.

3. 3

   Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and lemon juice together in a small bowl using a fork until smooth; stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.

4. 4

   Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper to the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

6. 6

   To make the lemon glaze: Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; snip the corner off of the bag using scissors, and drizzle cooled scones with glaze.
