Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached flour, plus more for rolling berries
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut in chunks
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.

Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying orange glaze.

Orange Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 oranges, juiced and zested

To prepare Orange Glaze: combine butter, sugar, orange zest, and juice over a double boiler. Cook until butter and sugar are melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and beat until smooth and slightly cool. Drizzle or brush on top of scones and let glaze get hazy and hardened.

    Amaaaaaazing! Best scones I ever tasted. Does not have that overpowering soda taste since the recipe does not call for soda at all. The lemon glaze adds that perfect touch or sourness. Will be making these again soon. Only thing I will do different, is that I will cut the ingredients for the glaze by about half. Had too much glaze left over. Otherwise, this is delicious!!!

    These scones are a regular in my home now. They taste great with the heavy whipping cream.

    I took this recipe to a big church breakfast event with many choices of berry breakfast items. These scones were the first item to be eaten up. Everyone thought the pastor had made them and he got lots of compliments on how good they were. We all were having a good laugh about that. I thought the orange glaze added an especially delicious touch.
