Blueberry Lemon Spring Scones

Scones are something I don't get very often because for the longest time I was the only one in the house that actually liked them and I wasn't going to make a whole batch just for myself. Lucky for me I have a little toddler that loves them as much as I do!  They are versatile in flavor options, so you better believe I have a scone for every season! Nothing screams springtime to me quite like Blueberry Lemon. The sweet citrus mix just hits so good that you can't help but have one or maybe even two. No judgment here. 

Let's get started.

Ingredients 

•   2 cups Flour.
•   1/3 cup Granulated Sugar.
• 2 tbs Brown sugar
•   1 tsp Salt.
• 1 tsp Dried Lemon Zest.
•   2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder.
•   1/2 cup Frozen Salted Butter.
•   1/2 cup Milk
• 1 tbs Melted Salted Butter
•   1 Egg.
•   1 tsp Lemon Extract.
•   1/2 cup Dehydrated Blueberries. 

For Topping 

• 2 tbs Melted Salted Butter
• 2 tbs Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Lemon Extract 

Combine Milk, Melted Butter, Egg into a bowl and give it all a good mix.

Use a cheese grater to shred your Frozen Butter into small little pieces.  

Add in the remaining ingredients, Flour, Frozen Butter, Granulated Sugar, Brown Sugar, Baking Powder, Lemon Zest, Lemon Extract, and Blueberries. I prefer to use Blueberries that I have dehydrated previously with sugar sprinkled on top, but if you prefer fresh that is fine just know it may affect the hydration of the scone. 

When it's fully combined, I take a large piece of parchment paper, using my hands I spread it out into a circle. 

 Then I use a pizza cutter to cut it into triangles 

While the oven is pre heating to 375 degrees, I work on the topping. I melt butter and use a brush to cover the tops of the scones. 

Then take the sugar and mix it with Lemon extract, be sure it is mixed well so it does not clump. 

Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of the scones, you can add generously here. It's delicious! 

Place the scones on a parchment covered cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. When the time is up rotate the pan and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes. You want them to have a lightly golden color.

Once they are done let them cool or enjoy them warm.
