Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 7-inch circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut the circle into 12 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
These scones are best enjoyed warm with clotted cream or jam.
