Lemon Blackberry Scones
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 1 cup Sour Cream Or Plain Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 whole Large Lemons, Zest Only (reserve The Juice Of 1 Of The Lemons For Glaze)
- 4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cold Butter, Diced
- 1-1/2 cup Frozen Blackberries
- _____
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 whole Large Lemon, Juice
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Water (if Needed To Add Moisture)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, blend together the sour cream and baking soda; set aside. In another small bowl, blend together the egg, vanilla and lemon zest; set aside. Save the lemon juice for the glaze.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the butter is the size of small peas.
- Stir together the two batches of wet ingredients and then add the mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. Gently stir in the frozen berries.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, just until the dough comes together. Place the dough onto your parchment-lined baking sheet and pat into a round disk about 1/2" to 3/4" thick. Score into 8 wedges (i.e. making partial cuts, but not all the way through.)
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out almost clean! Cool for about 15 minutes, and then glaze with a lemon glaze...
- For the Lemon Glaze:
- Squeeze the lemon juice into a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Add a touch of water, if needed, to thin the glaze out! Drizzle over your scones.
- DISCLAIMER: This recipe makes large coffee-shop style scones... If you prefer 'daintier' ones, divide the dough in half and make 2 disks of scones!
