Steps of Blueberry Lemon Scones Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3.	Add the cold cubed butter to the bowl, and use your fingers to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4.	Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
5.	In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
6.	Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix until just combined.
7.	Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times.
8.	Form the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
9.	Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scone.
10.	Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11.	Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries instead. Just make sure to thaw them and pat them dry before folding them into the dough. For extra lemon flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the wet ingredients. Serve these scones warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of lemon glaze.
