Thyme, Lemon, & Blueberry Scones
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and line a large baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
2 cups AP flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Mix for a few seconds to get everything integrated, then add:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Mix until the butter is broken down into approximately pea sized pieces. Then add:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
zest of one lemon
1 cup blueberries (I used fresh- if you use frozen, you may need to use less heavy cream)
Mix just until everything begins to come together, then turn dough out onto a well floured counter and shape into a disk.
Brush the dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, then cut into 8 slices (like cutting a pizza).
Bake 18-22 minutes, until they are golden brown.
*Optional: Lemon Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
juice of one lemon
2-4tbsp milk (enough to achieve the consistency you prefer)
Drizzle over scones.
