Doughs and pastries are my weakness, and yet I can get perfect scones every time with this recipe, which is is easier than it looks. Goes great with serving coffee or tea, or as a breakfast on the go (my usual eating method during early mornings on my way to work). Everyone who has tried these has raved for them!

  5. 1/2 tspsalt
  6. 6 tbspbutter
  7. 1/2 cupmilk

  11. 1 cupfresh blueberries
  12. Lemon Glaze Ingredients
  13. 1/2 cupicing sugar
  14. 1 tbspfresh lemon juice
  15. Pinchlemon zest

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. 2

    In your stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut cold butter into 1 inch cubes, put on top of dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Using your paddle attachment to work up to medium speed, beat butter with dry ingredients until butter has crumbled into smaller pieces and mixture is consistent. This might take a few minutes- be patient! You can stop halfway through, use a fork to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix up the butter a bit more if needed.

  5. 5

    Stir in milk, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until moistened.

  6. 6

    Pat dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to squish too much.

  7. 7

    By hand, shape dough into a rectangle, about one inch thick. Cut roughly down the middle to divide into two squares. Cut a criss cross diagonally through both squares to get 8 large scones. *To get 16 smaller scones, cut each triangle in half. The scones will bake up slightly bigger, and they're the perfect size for a snack or with breakfast.

  8. 8

    Place onto parchment-lined cookie sheet, about one to two inches apart.

  9. 9

    For 8 large scones, bake 15-17 min or until golden brown.

  10. 10

    For 16 small scones, adjust baking time to 11-13 min or until golden brown.

  11. 11

    To make the lemon glaze, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Add a little more or less lemon juice to get the consistency you like. Drizzle over cooled scones.

Veterinary assistant, home cook, baker.If it's a personal favourite, family favourite, coworker favourite, frequently eaten favourite... it's here. These recipes are considered among the best/most popular ones I make. So I'm being very selective.I bake more often than I cook (about once a week). Cooking is pretty much a family affair, while I do the majority (translate: 99.9%) of the baking. But my family and friends are very willing guinea pigs when it comes to taste testing ;)Any childhood recipes that make it here are likely to be heavily influenced by my mother and grandmother, both from Newfoundland.
