How to Make Easy Lemon Blueberry Scones

MIX DRY INGREDIENTS

Mix in a large bowl flour, baking powder and salt and whisk lightly until well combined.

ADD BUTTER + HONEY

Next, Rub the cold butter into the bowl along with the honey.

Then, using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the ingredients into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.

Mix in wet ingredients

Then add ¾ cup milk, almond extract, lemon zest and blueberries pour into the bowl and stir again.

Pro Tip: It’s okay if the scone batter is a bit crumbly, as long as the batter comes together later when shaping. If the batter is too dry and doesn’t form a ball at all, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Shape and cut out the dough

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Press firmly to form a 7 inch disk about ½ inch high. Cut the dough into 8 pieces, then place them on a greased baking sheet so they don’t touch.

Leave the dough to cool

Next, Place the tray with the scones in the freezer for 15 minutes and preheat the oven 400° F.

bake scones

Bake the scones for 20-22 minutes or until the scones are lightly golden brown on top.

Make honey butter

While the scones are baking, prepare the honey butter by placing all the ingredients (except the salt) in a bowl.

Using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until light, fluffy and blended. Place the butter in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt and a dash of honey.

ASSEMBLE + SERVE

Let the scones cool for 5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to cool. Serve with honey butter and enjoy!

Tips for the best lemon blueberry scones

Slowly add milk to the batter. Too much milk at once will make it difficult to shape the scones.

It’s okay if the scones lose some of their shape. Sometimes this happens when separating them on the baking sheet, but they still taste great!

Any berries will do. If you don’t have blueberries, you can use any type of berry you like!

storage

Store leftover homemade scones at room temperature for 1 day, or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To freeze your scones, Let them cool down completely. Before adding the honey butter, place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds or in the oven at 325°F for 5-10 minutes. Once cool, you can add your honey butter.
