  • Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  • Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before glazing.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled scones and serve.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used; do not thaw before adding.
  • Keep the butter as cold as possible for flaky scones.
  • If the dough feels dry, add an additional tablespoon of cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
