Blueberry Scones served with a mug of piping hot coffee is a very good way to start the day. The fresh blueberries give a lovely kick of sweetness and are best served with a little jam. Also, I often take these with me to work for a snack or pack a few for picnics. This is a very simple vegetarian recipe and you could be enjoying Blueberry Scones within 30 minutes. Finally, when you add a little bit if lemon zest, you don’t imagine it would have much of an effect. However the freshness and extra flavour it gives each scone is amazing.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp Salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter cold
1 1/2 cups blueberries fresh, rinsed
1 tsp lemon grated zest
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs lightly beaten

Instructions

Adjust rack to center of oven, and heat to 400°. Place a baking paper or silpat on a baking sheet, and set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives, cut in butter until the largest pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in blueberries and zest.
Using a fork, whisk together the cream and the eggs in a liquid measuring cup. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, and pour in cream mixture. Stir lightly with fork just until dough comes together.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times to mix well.
Pat dough into a 6-inch square about 1 1/4 inches thick. Using a floured knife, cut into four 3-inch squares. Cut squares in half on the diagonal to form eight triangles.
Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer scones from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.
