Blueberry Scones with Lemon Frosting

Blueberry Scones with Lemon Frosting

This scone recipe is one of my all-time favorites! Blueberries always make me think of summer, and making these scones during any other season brings me back to long summer days spent outside. These blueberry scones with lemon frosting are sure to be a new favorite in your recipe box! Keep scrolling to the very end for a printable version of this recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
5 tablespoons cold butter (plus another 1 tablespoon for the lemon frosting)
1 cup heavy cream (plus a few more tablespoons for brushing the top of the scones)
Zest of 1 lemon (Click here for my absolute favorite zester)
Juice of 1 lemon (approx. 1/4 cup)
2-3ish cups powdered sugar

Blueberry Scones with Lemon Frosting

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F

Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Fold in blueberries gently to avoid mashing them (otherwise the color will bleed into the dough). During summer I use fresh blueberries. All other times of year I usually use frozen ones since the quality of fresh blueberries is not so great when they’re out of season.

Make a well in the center of the flour/blueberry mixture and add the 1 cup of heavy cream.

Fold everything together just to incorporate. The mixture will be sticky and crumbly (see picture below).

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a rectangle. I always use my bench scraper to help shape the sides as I press the dough together gently with my other hand. Your rectangle should be approximately 12″x3″.

Cut the rectangle into four 3″x3″ squares (see photo).

Cut the squares in half diagonally to create eight triangles of equal size. This creates a pretty decent sized scone. If you prefer smaller scones, cut each square in half again to create four triangles from each 3″x3″ square.

Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not grease the parchment. These are the unbleached parchment sheets that I use, they are pre-cut fit a baking sheet perfectly. Another thing that I love about them is that they come in a flat cardboard envelope for storage so that they aren’t all curled up like parchment normally is when you tear it off the roll. Does anybody else hate that as much as I do?!?

Brush the top of the scones with more heavy cream.

Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes. I bake them until there is a little bit of golden color on some of the corners.

Remove from oven and place on cooling rack.

Let cool at least 30 minutes before you apply the frosting.

You can make the frosting in a double boiler or you can just microwave it. Mix together the lemon juice and one cup of powdered sugar. Then whisk in the melted butter and lemon zest. At this point, I just keep adding powdered sugar until I get the frosting to the consistency that I want. This time, the frosting actually turned out thicker than I usually like it since I added a little bit too much powdered sugar. You can always add some milk to thin it out if you add too much powdered sugar.

Put the cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so that it can catch the extra frosting that runs off the sides of the scones. Then spoon the frosting over each scone and spread a little bit over the top of each one with the back of the spoon.

Lastly, enjoy your blueberry scones with lemon frosting!

I just shared a blog post about how we converted this wonky old shed into a perfectly imperfect chicken coop last year! Definitely a labor of love, especially with the pandemic lumber prices 😅

    #ad I received the most beautiful items from @Long #ad I received the most beautiful items from @Longaberger last week! I have been such a fan of Longaberger since basically the beginning of time, and I remember going to many Longaberger parties with my mom and aunts and grandma when I was growing up.

Everything that Longaberger makes is such amazing quality, and so many of my pieces have been passed down to me from my grandma and my mom, or they are treasures that I’ve found at the thrift store. Longaberger baskets (and their beautiful pottery) are amazing, heirloom-quality pieces that can be handed down through the generations.

I love being able to look on the bottom of the baskets to see the signature of the person that made it along with the year. Some of my baskets are actually older than I am! I love to think about someday when I can pass my favorite baskets on to Evie to use in her home. 

A couple of the items Longaberger sent me are in their newer colors that I had never seen in person before - Pewter (the Recipe Basket), and Pale Grey (the Baking Dish Basket). The newer colors are SO beautiful! They are a little bit updated, but still a timeless addition. As you can see, they fit right in with our old farmhouse!

I think my favorite piece is the Recipe Box - it is so pretty and practical. I love that you can set the recipe card on top and easily glance at it while cooking. It would definitely make a beautiful housewarming or bridal shower gift!

What’s on your Longaberger wishlist? I’ve been eyeing up their adorable Easter baskets! Also check out their feed for the cutest little jadeite Easter bunny you ever did see!

    Happy Thursday! It may be snowing quite a bit here Happy Thursday! It may be snowing quite a bit here in NY today, but at least we're one day closer to spring 😂🌿

I planted some flower bulbs in the fall, and I can't wait to see them bloom this year! I chose some giant allium, crocus, tulips and daffodils. For some reason I really don't like planting bulbs AT ALL, but I always try to remember that my future self will thank me.

I also am planning to grow some dahlias for the first time this year, so if you have any favorite varieties send your recommendations my way! 🌸💐

    Well, hello! There are a few new faces since the l Well, hello! There are a few new faces since the last time I introduced myself! I’m Jen - a wife and mom of an (almost) 2-year old girl named Evelyn Iris. We live in Western NY. I’ve lived here my whole life, and my husband Dave moved to the area when he was in elementary school.

I’m a pharmacist by profession, but shortly before my daughter was born I switched to working just part-time to have more time to spend with her. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I know how lucky I am to be able to be home with her so much.

I’m a major homebody and LOVE to work on home projects and decorate and garden. We bought my grandma’s house a couple of years ago, and are madly in love with it - a charming, old 1832 saltbox farmhouse. I chose the name Cedar & Stone Farmhouse based on the house, with its cedar siding and the old stone walls that run along the property.

We started keeping bees about 7 years ago at our last house in the suburbs, and are now up to five hives here at the farmhouse.

We also recently started keeping chickens (a lifelong dream of mine!) - we have Dominiques, Easter Eggers, and Blue Orpingtons. We also have one guinea hen (it's a long story, but we started with 10 and sadly have only one left after some coyote attacks).

I’m a type 5 on the Enneagram (a personality test), specifically a 5w6 - also known as “the troubleshooter.” I tend to be very introverted and analytical, and usually do a ton of research before starting anything new (library books, YouTube, google, etc. are definitely my friends haha).

If you’ve taken the Enneagram quiz, I’d love to know your personality type too!
