. Bake Until Golden
- Brush the tops of the scones lightly with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar or additional granulated sugar for a sweet crunch.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
7. Make the Lemon Glaze (Optional)
- While the scones cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones for an extra burst of lemony sweetness.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a dollop of clotted cream, whipped cream, or butter for a decadent touch.
- Pair with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or lemonade for a refreshing treat.
- Enjoy them plain for a lighter snack or breakfast on the go.
Pro Tips for Success
- Keep Ingredients Cold: Cold butter is key to achieving flaky scones. Work quickly to prevent the butter from softening too much.
- Handle Dough Gently: Overworking the dough can make the scones tough. Mix just until combined and handle as little as possible.
- Use Frozen Berries: If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a bit of flour before folding them into the dough to prevent bleeding.
- Freeze for Later: Freeze unbaked scones on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the baking time.
