• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until JUST combined and all appears to be moistened.
• Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, gently and quickly knead the dough into a ball (sprinkle more flour if needed as you're kneading). It doesn't have to be smooth. Rough and shaggy is good.

• Brush the tops of the scones with more buttermilk and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before glazing.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients, adding in 1 tablespoon of cream or milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over scones.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY SCONES EVER RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Freeze and then grate 8 T butter on the large holes of a box grater. Keep frozen until needed. Place the berries i the freezer until needed. Whisk the milk and sour cream together in a medium bowl and refrierate until needed. 3. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the frozen, grated butter and toss with your fingers until throughly coated. Fold in the chilled milk mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not overmix). 4. Turn out the dough and any floury bits onto a well floure counter or board. Lightly flour your hands and the dough and knead the dough gentlt 6 to 8 times until it just holds together in a ragged ball, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. 5. Roll out the dough into a 12 inch flat square. Fold the top, bottom, and then sides of the dough over the center to form a 4 inch square. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured plate and chill in the freezer for 5 minutes (do not overchill). 6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counterand roll again into a 12-inch square. Sprinkle the berries evenly over the dough and press them lighlty into the dough. Loosen the dough from the counter with a bench scraper (or a thin metal spatula), roll it into a tight log, and pinch the seam closed. Lay the dough seam side down and press into a 12 by 4-inch rectangle. Using a floured chef's knife, slice the dough crosswise into 4 equal rectangles, then slice each rectangle on the diagonal into 2 triangles. 7. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Melt the remaining 2 T butter, then brush the butter over the scones before sprinkling them lightly with extra sugar. Bake until the scone tops are lightly golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. Tansfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. NOTE: The cut, unbaked scones can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; bake as directed. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; cover and freeze the scones until frozen solid, about 6 hours, then transfer to a large zip lock bag. Bake the frozen scones (do not thaw) as directed, reducing the oven temperature to 375 degrees and increasing the baking time to 25 to 30 minutes.

BLUEBERRY SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
• Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches. Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
• You can make the lemon glaze in a double boiler, or for a simpler alternative, you can zap it in the microwave. Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water for the double-boiler method, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Either nuke the glaze for 30 seconds or continue whisking in the double boiler. Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones. Let it set a minute before serving.
