Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
- Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough.
- Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches.
- Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares.
- Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape.
- Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
- Technically you should make this simple lemon glaze in a double boiler (i.e. over a pot of simmering water with a heatproof bowl set on top) but it's even simpler to zap it in the microwave.
- Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the lemon zest and butter.
- Nuke it for 30 seconds on high.
- Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones.
- Let it set a minute before serving.
BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK BISCONES WITH LEMON ZEST GLAZE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and cardamom until combined. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, work in the butter until you have various-size pieces ranging from sandy patches to pea-size chunks and some larger bits as well. Gently stir in the blueberries. 3. Gradually pour in the buttermilk and gently fold the mixture until there are no bits of flour remaining in the bottom of the bowl. If the dough seems dry, add a little more buttermilk until it is moist and slightly sticky. 4. Using your hands, gently pat down the dough until it resembles a loaf of bread. Using a large ice-cream scoop, scoop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, arranging them about 1 inch apart. Lightly tap down the tops of the biscones with the scoop. 5. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Brush the tops of the biscones liberally with the egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the biscones are golden and fully baked. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. 6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar with the grated lemon zest and juice until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the biscones and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F) and line two trays with baking paper.
- Put the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (you can also make these by hand).

- Add the buttermilk and lemon zest, and mix on a low speed until the dough begins to come together.
- At this point, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and add the blueberries.
- Mix the dough together with your hands, being careful not to knead it or crush the blueberries, until it comes together. You may need to add a little more buttermilk.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1.5 inches thick.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the dough lengthways down the middle, then cut each long rectangle into 6 triangles.
- Place on the prepared baking trays, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Bake for 20 - 30 minutes, until golden.
- Eat while warm!

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries will also work well. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones to rise better.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the lemon zest glaze while the scones are baking: This will give the glaze time to cool and thicken.
- Drizzle the glaze over the scones while they are still warm: This will help the glaze to soak into the scones.
Conclusion:
These blueberry buttermilk scones with lemon zest glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these scones a try.
