Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 3–4 tablespoons (45–60 ml) champagne
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest, being careful not to mash the berries.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cold large egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Add a splash more cream if the dough feels too dry.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 7-inch (18 cm) circle about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Lightly brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
  10. Bake for 18–22 minutes until the scones are puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, champagne, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  12. Once scones are out of the oven and slightly cooled (about 10 minutes), drizzle the champagne glaze over the tops and let set for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Do not overmix the dough to keep scones tender. Let scones cool slightly before glazing to prevent glaze from melting away. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and butter with plant-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
