Ingredients:​

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp table salt

• 6 tbsp unsalted butter very cold, cut into small cubes

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 tbsp lemon zest

• 3/4 cup heavy cream very cold

• 1 egg large

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp heavy cream very cold

• 2 tbsp sanding sugar optional

​

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour sugar, baking powder and salt.

• Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until only a handful of small, pea-sized pieces of butter remain.

• Add blueberries and lemon zest and stir to combine, just until blueberries are coated with flour mixture.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

• Pour cream mixture into flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.

• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a disc about 6 inches across. 

• Use a large knife or bench scraper to cut into 6 wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. 

• Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream. Sprinkle with sanding sugar if desired.

• Bake for 16 to 19 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, rotating baking sheet halfway through.

• Serve warm or room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Best enjoyed the day they are baked.
