Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- zest of 3 medium lemons
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter frozen
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest; mix with your fingertips until moistened and fragrant. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
- Stir the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture with a fork until large clumps form. Gently fold in blueberries and press into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a 7-inch circle, about ¾ inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles and place on the baking sheet, spaced 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 to 16 minutes until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before making the glaze.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth. Dip the tops of the scones in the glaze and allow to harden.
Notes
Make sure to freeze the butter beforehand for the perfect flaky texture.
For added sweetness, feel free to drizzle extra glaze over the scones after they harden.
Storing: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
