This lemon-blueberry scone recipe with blueberry glaze is definitely not your traditional scone recipe! These scones have a bit of whole wheat flour, a bit of Greek yogurt, a touch of cardamom and ginger, and a nice lemon-blueberry flavor that gets amped up by the addition of a blueberry glaze.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, frozen

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 1 egg

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries, unthawed

Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon water

Glaze:

  • ¼ cup frozen blueberries, thawed

  • â…” cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, lemon zest, baking soda, salt, and ginger in a large bowl. Grate in frozen butter using a box grater; toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Combine yogurt, cream, 1 egg, and vanilla extract in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until forms a crumbly dough and just until no dry clumps of flour remain. Stir in 1 cup unthawed blueberries.

  4. Pour crumbly dough onto the prepared baking sheet; firmly press together until forms a cohesive 8-inch circle. Flatten top to ensure circle is even. Cut into 8 triangular pieces; space pieces 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.

  5. Whisk 1 egg and water together in a small bowl; gently brush over tops of each scone.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

  7. Press 1/4 cup thawed blueberries through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl using the back of a wooden spoon to extract 2 to 3 tablespoons juice. Discards skins and seeds. Whisk confectioners' sugar and lemon juice into blueberry juice until smooth; drizzle over cooled scones.
