Moist and flavorful Lemon Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze are definitely my best scone recipe and one of my most popular posts here on The Love Nerds! Whether enjoyed on a warm spring day or on Christmas morning as a holiday recipe, these scones are always the perfect addition to your table!!

Prior to a few years ago, I had only ever enjoyed a scone on a continental breakfast platter which means they were always a little dry and bland. I decided to start tackling homemade scone recipes, starting with my spiced pumpkin scone recipe. They are one of the first fall recipes I make every year and never disappoint as they are soft, moist (sorry if you hate that word!) and full of great flavor! Definitely better than any scone recipe I had ever tried before!

Ingredients
Scone Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup milk I use skim
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Lemon Glaze Ingredients
• 1/2 cup powder sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. In your stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into smaller pieces and put on top of the dry ingredients.
4. Using your paddle attachment, mix the butter and dry ingredients together. Work your way to medium speed. You want the butter to break up into small little pieces. BE PATIENT! It might take a little time but the butter will break down into the mix.
5. If needed, you can stop part way through, use a fork to mix things around and break things apart a little more, and mix again using the paddle attachment.
6. Stir in milk, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest until moistened.
7. To add in the blueberries, I patted the dough out on a lightly floured counter and folded the blueberries into the dough. Be careful not to squish to avoid the blueberries bleeding too much.
