Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the lemon zest.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Mix Dough
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Shape and Cut Scones
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
Bake Scones
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note
- For extra lemony flavor, drizzle a lemon glaze over the scones once they’re cooled. To make the glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough to prevent the scones from turning purple.
- These scones can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expand All:
Can I use a different fruit instead of blueberries?
Yes, you can substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or even diced strawberries. Just be mindful that the moisture content may vary with different fruits.
Do I need to use buttermilk?
Buttermilk gives the scones a tender crumb and slight tang. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough, shape the scones, and refrigerate them overnight. Bake them fresh the next morning for best results.
How do I prevent my scones from being dry?
Make sure not to overmix the dough and don’t overbake the scones. The butter should be cold, and the dough should be handled as little as possible to ensure flaky, tender scones.
Can I freeze the scones?
Absolutely! You can freeze the scones before baking or after they’ve been baked. If freezing before baking, place the unbaked scones on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
