-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a medium size mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cubes of butter and mix them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, pinching the butter between the flour as you mix it in until the butter is the size of peas.
-
Add the lemon zest and the blueberries and gently mix them into the flour mixture.
-
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the lemon juice, heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth then pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
-
Mix until everything is combined then turn the dough onto a well-floured surface. It will be crumbly so you will need to use your hands to form the dough into a disc that is about 6 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick. Then use a bench scraper or butter knife to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the lined baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart in a single layer.
-
Brush each one with some heavy cream and sprinkle with raw sugar, if desired.
-
Bake the scones in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 17-19 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking until they are golden and cooked through. Then remove them from the oven, transfer them to a wired cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes.
-
Mix up the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until fully combined.
-
Serve warm drizzled with the lemon glaze and enjoy!
