Blueberry Scones

Now that my freezer is so full of blueberries, it is time to do something with them.  This recipe makes scones that are big, and bakery delicious.  If you have never made scones, they are simple to prepare, with only a minimum of ingredients.

3 1/3 c. flour
1 c. sugar
3 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
Whisk all this ingredients together in a bowl.
6 T. butter
Using a pastry blender, or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is fine like breadcrumbs.
In another bowl beat
2 eggs
Then beat in
1 T. lemon juice
lemon zest from one lemon
1 c. cream
1 t. vanilla
Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture.  Pour egg mixture into the hole.  At this time also add
1 c. blueberries and the zest of one lemon.
Stir to mix until mixture just comes together.
Put a piece of parchment on a baking sheet.  Dump the scone mixture directly onto the sheet and pat into a 9 inch circle.  Take a knife and cut into 8 pieces, but do not pull apart.  Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until golden brown.
