Ingredients (serves 8):

For the scones:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg

For the glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky texture in the scones.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix until just combined to avoid tough scones.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
7. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. While the scones are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk.
9. Once the scones are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.
