Print Recipe

These scones are bursting with blueberries and topped with a tangy orange glaze, perfect for brunch or a delightful breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and mix until crumbly.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, orange zest, and vanilla. Pour it into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  5. Dump the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  6. Place the scones on the baking sheet and bake for about 18 minutes, or until golden at the edges.
  7. Mix the icing ingredients and drizzle over the warm scones.

Notes

For extra tender scones, avoid overmixing. If you use frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing to prevent bleeding. Consider adding raw sugar to the top before baking for a crunchy texture.
