Berry-Lemon Scones
Makes: 12 scones
Prep: 10 minutes
Bake at 400 Degrees F. for 18 minutes
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 1 cup
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 egg white
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Heat oven to 400 Degrees F. Spread a large sheet of parchment paper on countertop.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add butter; mix with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir lemon juice-milk mixture into dough, along with blueberries, lemon peel and egg, just until combined.
With floured hands, pat half of the dough into a 7-inch circle on one end of the parchment paper. Repeat, with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sugar. Cut halfway down but not through each circle, 6 wedges for each round. Slide paper with dough onto baking sheet.
Bake at 400 Degrees F. for about 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool slightly. Pull apart at cut lines. Serve warm or at room temperature.
