Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Lavender Glaze:
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender, finely ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or food processor to combine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, beaten egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in blueberries gently, keeping them whole.
  7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick, 8-inch diameter circle.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them spaced apart on the baking sheet.
  9. Brush wedges lightly with milk or beaten egg for a golden top.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed and golden. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  11. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or buttermilk, ground lavender, and lemon juice until smooth for the glaze.
  12. Once scones are slightly cooled but still warm, drizzle the lavender glaze on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold and work quickly to ensure flaky, tender scones. Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness. Fold blueberries gently to prevent crushing. Drizzle glaze while scones are warm but not hot for best adhesion. Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing to prevent color bleeding.
