Blueberry Scones With Lemon Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• 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.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
• Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into 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.
• Technically you should make this simple lemon glaze in a double boiler (i.e. over a pot of simmering water with a heatproof bowl set on top) but it's even simpler to zap it in the microwave.
• Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the lemon zest and butter.
• Nuke it for 30 seconds on high.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• 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.
• Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and lemon juice together using a fork in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Scones: Whisk together the baking mix and sugar in a large bowl. Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas. Beat the eggs well with the 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine until just blended. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the blueberries. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick square. Cut into 4 squares, then cut each square into 2 triangles. Arrange the scones on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool a bit before glazing.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Pour evenly over the warm scones. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly oil a large baking sheet and set aside.
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together into a large bowl; add lemon zest.
• Add butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; gently mix in blueberries.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, egg yolk, and lemon extract.
• Make a well in the dry mixture and add liquid all at once.
• Stir with wooden spoon just until dough pulls together; let rest for 3 minutes.
• Scrape dough onto a floured work surface.
• Using floured hands, gently knead dough 4 or 5 times into a ball.
• Pat the dough out into an 8-inch circle.
• Slice dough into 8 wedges, as you would a pie.
• Brush each with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Reassemble the wedges on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between pieces.
• Bake until golden brown and crusty, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer scones to wire rack.
• These are best served warm, or at least within an hour of baking.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, lemon zest, baking soda, salt, and ginger in a large bowl. Grate in frozen butter using a box grater and toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Mix yogurt, cream, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture to form a crumbly dough, stirring just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Stir in unthawed blueberries.
• Pour crumbly dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Press dough together firmly until it forms a cohesive 8-inch circle. Flatten top to ensure the circle is even. Cut into 8 triangular pieces. Arrange the pieces 1 inch apart on the same parchment-lined pan.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl for the egg wash. Gently brush over the top of each scone.
• Bake scones in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Use the back of a wooden spoon to press thawed blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl to extract 2 or 3 tablespoons of juice. Discards skins and seeds. Whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice into the blueberry juice until smooth. Drizzle blueberry glaze over cooled scones.
