    Lemon Blueberry Scones with a delicious lemon glaze, fresh lemon zest, and plump juicy blueberries in every bite. 

    We love to eat these delicious, easy scones for breakfast or dessert, along with our other favorite scone recipe, Apple Cinnamon Scones.

    Lemon Blueberry Scones

    This delicious, quick and easy scone recipe can be made by beginners. This recipe includes lemon zest AND lemon juice in the dough. These scones are also on the lighter side; there is no heavy cream in this recipe. I instead opted for a combination of greek yogurt and lemon juice to activate the baking soda and baking powder and they definitely exceeded my mild but indulgent dreams.

    How to make Lemon Blueberry Scones:

    It is so easy to make these scones! I've broken it down into the simplest of steps, the full printable recipe is below. There is no special equipment like a stand mixer needed for this recipe.

    • Combine wet ingredients: in a small bowl, combine the greek yogurt, lemon juice & zest, egg, vanilla.
    • Combine dry ingredients: in a separate bowl, combine the flour, white granulated sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Grate in the cold butter. I prefer to freeze it overnight first for maximum flakiness! Refrigerated will work just fine if unable to freeze it first.
    • Mix together: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and add blueberries and mix until there are no flour pockets left.

    • Shape & Bake:  On a lined baking sheet, shape the dough into a flat disc.  Cut into 8 slices and separate on the baking sheet, and bake!
    • Make Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the scones and garnish with more lemon zest.

    Can you freeze scones?

    Yes, if done correctly to maintain freshness. Scones have a shelf life of 2-3 days, but can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    To freeze scones, make sure they are completely cooled, then place in an airtight container or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze.

      The recipe was delicious but it didn't say when to put in the butter. I ended up with a disaster having to add it at the last minute
