Blueberry Scones Ina Garten
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter grated
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- extra heavy cream for brushing the tops
- raw sugar for sprinkling the tops
Lemon Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 2 lemons juiced and zested
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Add in the cold butter and set the mixer to its lowest speed.
- Whisk together the egg and heavy cream, and gently pour this creamy blend into the flour and butter mixture as it mixes on low. Your dough might look a bit lumpy, and that's just fine.
- Toss in those juicy blueberries, and let them join the party.
- Transfer your dough onto a generously floured surface and knead it into a lovely ball. Make sure your hands and rolling pin have a dusting of flour to prevent sticking.
- Roll that dough out to a thickness of 3/4-inch, making sure you can still spot some delightful buttery bits throughout.
- Keep it moving on the floured surface so it doesn't get clingy.
- Shape the dough into a square and slice it into quarters. Take each quarter and cut it diagonally, creating charming little triangles.
- Give your scones a cozy brush of heavy cream, and a sprinkle of sugar, and let them bask in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes when they have browned tops and insides that are fully baked. You'll know they're ready when they feel delightfully firm to the touch.
- Allow the scones to cool down before we jazz them up with a delightful lemon glaze.
For the lemon glaze:
- Prepare a double boiler (also known as bain-marie) ready,
- Combine the butter, sugar, lemon zest, and juice in it. Mix until the butter and sugar melt together, creating a thicker mixture.
- Remove it from the heat and beat it until it becomes smooth and slightly cooled.
- Drizzle or gently brush this glaze on top of your scones.
- Let it sit until the glaze becomes a bit hazy and forms a lovely, hardened layer.
- Enjoy your homemade scones!
