🍋 Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Scones
Ingredients
Dry:
-
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
Zest of 1 large lemon
Cold Butter:
-
1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
Wet:
-
2/3 cup (160g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
-
1 egg
-
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins:
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
-
Cut in butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla.
-
Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until mostly combined. Gently fold in the blueberries—try not to overmix.
-
Shape scones: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Optional glaze (before baking): Brush the tops with a little yogurt or milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
-
Bake: 18–22 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool & (optional) glaze: Let cool slightly. For extra lemony flavor, drizzle with a lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice).
🍽️ Tips:
-
For extra flakiness, freeze the butter cubes for 10 minutes before using.
-
You can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream if needed.
-
Don’t overwork the dough—it makes the scones tough.
