Taste of Home Lemon Blueberry scones

There is nothing better than a warm scone just out of the oven! The only thing that makes this recipe better is that you probably have the ingredients on hand and they are simply dropped on a baking sheet and baked. Nothing is difficult about this recipe! I did add about a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the batter for that tart pucker taste.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup lemon yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

GLAZE
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl combine the first six ingredients.
In another bowl combine the yogurt, egg and butter. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is moist. Fold in blueberries.
Drop by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm scones. Serve warm.

NOTE- if you are using frozen blueberries don’t thaw them.  Add frozen berries directly to the batter. This will avoid discoloring.

Enjoy!
