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.
