BLUEBERRY SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE

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. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork 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.
- You can make the lemon glaze in a double boiler, or for a simpler alternative, you can zap it in the microwave. Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water for the double-boiler method, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Either nuke the glaze for 30 seconds or continue whisking in the double boiler. 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of peas. Stir in blueberries and lemon zest.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cream and eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add cream mixture; stir lightly with a fork just until dough comes together.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring together. Pat into a 6-inch square, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Using a sharp knife dipped in flour, cut dough into four squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to form eight triangles. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with more sugar.
- Bake until tops are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool completely.
BLUEBERRY-LEMON SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients.
- Starting at low speed, beat the butter and dry ingredients. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the butter breaks into small pieces. Then stir in the milk, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla until moistened.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them. Form the dough into a long rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 2 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, and then cut those pieces in half again. You should have 8 triangles total.
- Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 17 to 21 minutes. Let cool. Serve with Honey Butter and Blackberry Jam.
- In a medium bowl, combine the butter and honey and blend thoroughly.
- To serve, transfer to a butter crock.
- You can also roll the butter into a log, chill it and then slice it into individual pieces. Place the blended butter on a piece of plastic wrap, shaping it into a rectangle. Wrap the butter tightly in the plastic wrap, folding the sides in first and then the top and bottom. Roll into a log and refrigerate until firm. To serve, cut 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices and arrange them in a butter dish.
- Place the berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing the berries with a potato masher as they cook. Add the lemon juice and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring and mashing constantly.
- Add the sugar and return the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to look syrupy and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and test for doneness: a candy thermometer should register 220 degrees F and the mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Run a finger--or a clean object about the width of a finger--through the coat of jam. If the jam does not run and fill the gap, it is done. Otherwise, return the pan to the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes and test again. Be careful not to let the mixture get too thick--it will thicken as it cools. (See Cook's Note)
- When the jam is done, transfer it to a heatproof jar and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate. The jam will keep for up to 2 weeks.

BLUEBERRY ALMOND DROP SCONES
Blueberry with almond is one of my favorite combos for breakfast bakes. Sneaking some toasted almond flour and citrus zest into these scones really makes their flavor shine. Sometimes I like to make these scones ahead of time, portioning the dough on sheet pans and popping them into the refrigerator until baking them the next morning.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, almond flour, baking powder, salt and citrus zest until well combined.
- Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the frozen butter into the flour. Use a rubber spatula to toss the butter evenly into the flour, breaking up any large bits. Add the berries and slivered almonds and toss into the flour.
- Whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla in a small bowl, then pour into the flour-butter mixture. Stir and flatten the dough over itself until evenly moistened; some dry spots may remain -- that's OK. The dough will have the consistency of sticky cookie dough.
- Use a scoop or measuring cup to portion out 6 mounded 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto each prepared sheet pan. Flatten the mounds ever so slightly.
- For finishing: Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush onto the scones with a pastry brush. Sprinkle the scones with the finishing sugar.
- Bake until deep golden and slightly springy when touched, 28 to 30 minutes. Rotate the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway during baking. Let cool on the sheet pans until warm then transfer to a serving tray. The scones are best served warm or the day they are baked.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH BLUEBERRY SCONES
This recipe came from the Martha Stewart's web site. It is probably best to use fresh blueberries in this recipe, or if you use frozen make sure they are well thawed out. The sugar topping makes a crunchy topping. I love the addition of lemon zest in the scones, because it brings out the blueberry taste. Instead of zest you can also use lemon oil (1/4 tsp), and you will get a mild background lemony taste. Probably best to make these on the day you will eat them. They are not as good the day after. Right out of the oven with a pipping hot cup of coffee is the way to go!

Tips for Baking with Blueberries:
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are ideal for baking, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- Toss blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense baked goods.
- Bake at the correct temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe. Be sure to preheat the oven before baking.
- Do not overbake. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly baked goods.
Conclusion:
Blueberries are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of baked goods. By following these tips, you can create delicious blueberry muffins, scones, pies, and more. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, consider using blueberries. You won't be disappointed!
