Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
1 stick of frozen unsalted butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Preheat the oven to 375 ˚F (180 ˚C). Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Mix the butter and dry ingredients.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir the dough mixture with a fork.
Add the blueberries to the mixture. Fold the ingredients with the spatula.
Put the dough on the lightly floured surface counter and form it into a ball. Pour into a 20 cm round cake tin. Cut into 8 slices.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then place the slices on the baking tray at ¼ -½ inch intervals. If you wish, you can chill the scone dough in balls directly in the refrigerator. Place the dough on the baking tray with the help of an ice cream scoop or spoon.
Bake the buns for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
Serve with powdered sugar, clotted cream, or jam.

Tips

Use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you are using frozen blueberries, make sure they are completely thawed.
Use frozen butter. It is best to chill the butter in the freezer before adding it to the dough. This helps you create cake layers. Grate the frozen butter and mix it lightly with the dry ingredients.
Do not overmix the dough. Otherwise, the cake will be dry.
If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour.
If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of cream or milk.
Refrigerate the dough. After shaping the scone buns, refrigerate them for about 15 minutes. This will prevent the buns from spreading as they bake.
Preheat the baking tray. This allows the scones to swell better.
You can make circular or wedge-shaped scones.
