These Lemon Blueberry Cream Scones hit the spot. They’re perfect for tea time, breakfast, or an after school snack. You can enjoy them warm from the oven or wait for them to cool and add a lemon glaze on top.
If you’ve never had cream scones before, you’re in for a treat. They’re quick and easy to make and they taste incredible. They’re flatter than typical American scones and way more moist. They’re almost like a muffin in the shape of a scone. If you’re not a fan of dry scones, you will LOVE this delicious treat!
This is a one-bowl recipe that’s just FUN to make. I love any excuse to use my rolling pin. Brush with a bit more cream and top with sugar for a delightful crunchy sugar top.
These are perfect to make in the summertime when you have an abundance of fresh blueberries. Warning: these are extremely addictive. I ate two just taking these pictures. You’ve been warned!
Lemon Blueberry Cream Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold
1 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp whipping cream, divided
1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Optional: Lemon Glaze, recipe follows
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blend or fork until crumbly. Add 1 1/4 cups whipping cream and lemon juice to batter and stir until combined. Gently stir in blueberries.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and press the dough into a smooth ball. Roll dough out in a circle, about half an inch in thickness. Cut into eight triangles. Brush scones with a remaining whipping cream and sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar.
- Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden but still soft. Let cool on the cookie sheet for one minute before removing to a cooling rack. Serve warm or, if desired, cool and drizzle with Lemon Glaze.
