  • Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Bringing it all Together

  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then add the blueberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your scones tough.

Step 6: Shaping Up

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a disc about 1-inch thick.

Step 7: Slice and Bake

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges.

Step 8: Oven Time!

  • Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch of space between each one. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9: The Sweetest Touch (Glaze)

  • While the scones are still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones and enjoy!

Bonus Tip: For an extra Easter touch, you can sprinkle some lemon zest or edible Easter sprinkles over the glaze before it sets.

These Glazed Blueberry Scones are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser! They’re perfect for Easter brunch, a special afternoon snack, or even a delightful dessert. So, grab your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake up some delicious memories this Easter!
