Buttermilk Blueberry Scones w/ Lemon Glaze

I made this recipe this morning and it was amazing. The whole family loved it! I will definitely make it again. Above picture shows how it turned out, the glaze, and the dough.  Below is the recipe I used for the lemon glaze and the actual scones.

Scones

4 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

                                                                1 T. baking powder

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp. lemon zest, grated

1 cup unsalted butter, very cold

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

2 cups blueberries( i used 1 cup)

 

1)Preheat oven to 400. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

2) Whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add sugar, salt and lemon zest and stir to combine. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and scatter the cubes over the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or the back of a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. When you are finished, the butter should be dispersed throughout the flour in pea-sized lumps (or bigger… mine always are).

3. Add the buttermilk all at once along with the blueberries and mix gently with a wooden spoon until the dough holds together. If the mixture seems dry, add a little bit more buttermilk.

4. Dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. If you’ve made the whole recipe, divide the dough into two even portions. Using your hands, pat each portion into a circular disk about 1 1/2 inches thick. Then cut each disk in 6 pieces. Place on baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes.
