Blueberry Lemon Scones with Sweet Lemon Glaze

  1. Iced blueberry lemon scones

Have you been looking for a blueberry scone recipe that is light and tender and packed full of beautiful blueberries and?  This is the perfect blueberry lemon scone recipe, why, because these scones are moist and delicious, and a little bit sweet. The best part, this scone batter  does not turn into that nasty purple shade.  Maybe it’s just me but I just don’t want a purple scone.

The great thing about blueberries is that they are available year round.  They really are a perfect fruit.  Blueberries are packed full of valuable vitamins and nutrients, they are great for baking, throwing in salads and best of all they can just be popped in your mouth for a snack.  So many uses for this itty bitty berry. The color is amazing.

Blueberries

Here is the trick for making blueberry scones, and it’s so easy, don’t mix the blueberries into the batter.  Just roll out the dough and lay the blueberries on top.  Then the fun part, fold the dough over the blueberries and then cut into your desired shape.  No weird colored dough here and the berries hold their shape.  It really is that easy.

You know what, use this same technique for raspberry and cranberry scones.  This way the berries won’t get smooched when mixing into the batter and give your scones some wonky color.

This is one quick recipe so grab your flour, butter, and blueberries, preheat your oven and let’s start baking. See that plate of butter, that is the secret to making these scones tender;  grate the butter.  Start with frozen butter and grate what you need.  I put the butter back in the freezer until I am ready to add to the flour.  The small size of the butter makes it fast and easy to work it into the flour which helps keep the dough tender.

Roll out the scone dough, be gentle with it.  The dough is really soft and will roll out very easily, so just a few light rolls with the pin and you’ll have a small rectangle.  Remember my trick for the blueberries,  just put the blueberries on top of the rolled dough?
