• 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
• 1/4 cup milk

Recipe Notes

• To easily grate the butter place it in the freezer for five minutes when you start the recipe.

Here's how to make it: 

1. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest and sugar. Mix well.
2. Use a box grater to grate the butter into the dry ingredients. Stir well using clean hands to combine, if needed.
3. Add the blueberries to the mixture and stir to coat them.
4. In a small mixing bowl whisk the eggs and milk together. Add it to the blueberry mix. Stir until everything is combined.
5. Place the dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
6. Press it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and spread out on the paper.
8. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. If you would like to top the scones with the glaze, mix the lemon juice with the powdered sugar and blend well. Drizzle on top of the cooled scones. Enjoy!
