Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic light spelt flour (2 cups all-purpose can substituted)
  • 1/4 cup organic raw fine sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/2 cup organic whole milk/half and half cream
  • 1 free-range egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Lemon Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, measure flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Grate cold butter using a grater or cut cold butter into flour mixture with either a pastry blender, a fork or your fingers to break the butter into small pea-size pieces.
  4. Measure and whisk milk/cream, egg, vanilla and lemon juice into a measuring cup or small bowl. Then slowly add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, until no flour is visible. Gently fold in blueberries.  The dough should be moist.
  5. Using your hands, gently press dough onto floured surface shaping into a circle to about one inch thickness. If the dough is too stick, add additional flour. Using a chef’s knife, cut the circle into 8 equal slices.
  6. Carefully separate slices, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden in colour. Cool on a cooling rack before serving.
  7. Lemon Glaze: Using a wire whisk, beat together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon. Drizzle over scones and serve.
