BLACKBERRY-LEMON SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• In large bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and baking soda. Grate butter into flour mixture, then work in with fingers until mixture looks like coarse meal. In small bowl, beat sour cream, egg and lemon peel with whisk or fork. Add sour cream mixture and blackberries to flour mixture. Stir until dough comes together (some berries may become slightly crushed).
• On cookie sheet, pat dough into 7-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in blueberries, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
• Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and lemon juice together using a fork in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper to the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; snip the corner off of the bag using scissors, and drizzle cooled scones with glaze.
