Lemon Glazed Blueberry Scones

Blueberries were on sale at Sprouts this week so I kind of went blueberry crazy. I walked away with 6.5lbs of blueberries.... Heh. I made blueberry jam on Wednesday so for tasty treat Thursday I decided to make blueberry scones. Mmm scones and jam... So here is the recipe. I'll do a jam post sometime next week. I still have about 2lbs of berries left so i need to figure out what to make next and fast!

Enjoy the recipe! These were a huge hit at Paul's office! A very simple, delicious scone. It wasn't too dry and not too sweete, just a perfect scone.

I found the recipe on foodnetwork.com

Ingredients

Blueberry Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing the scones

Lemon Glaze:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lemon, zest finely grated

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches. Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones. Let it set a minute before serving.
