Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp coarse sugar
2/3 cup powdered sugar
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form, then stir in the egg, cream, and vanilla.
Fold in the blueberries, press the dough into a thick round, cut it into eight wedges, and place them on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the wedges with coarse sugar and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until firm and lightly browned.
Whisk the powdered sugar with the lemon zest and lemon juice, then drizzle it over the cooled scones.
