Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Freeze and then grate 8 T butter on the large holes of a box grater. Keep frozen until needed. Place the berries i the freezer until needed. Whisk the milk and sour cream together in a medium bowl and refrierate until needed. 3. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the frozen, grated butter and toss with your fingers until throughly coated. Fold in the chilled milk mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not overmix). 4. Turn out the dough and any floury bits onto a well floure counter or board. Lightly flour your hands and the dough and knead the dough gentlt 6 to 8 times until it just holds together in a ragged ball, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. 5. Roll out the dough into a 12 inch flat square. Fold the top, bottom, and then sides of the dough over the center to form a 4 inch square. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured plate and chill in the freezer for 5 minutes (do not overchill). 6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counterand roll again into a 12-inch square. Sprinkle the berries evenly over the dough and press them lighlty into the dough. Loosen the dough from the counter with a bench scraper (or a thin metal spatula), roll it into a tight log, and pinch the seam closed. Lay the dough seam side down and press into a 12 by 4-inch rectangle. Using a floured chef's knife, slice the dough crosswise into 4 equal rectangles, then slice each rectangle on the diagonal into 2 triangles. 7. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Melt the remaining 2 T butter, then brush the butter over the scones before sprinkling them lightly with extra sugar. Bake until the scone tops are lightly golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking. Tansfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. NOTE: The cut, unbaked scones can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; bake as directed. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; cover and freeze the scones until frozen solid, about 6 hours, then transfer to a large zip lock bag. Bake the frozen scones (do not thaw) as directed, reducing the oven temperature to 375 degrees and increasing the baking time to 25 to 30 minutes.

• Work in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces remaining. Toss in the blueberries. Set aside.
• In a measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until JUST combined and all appears to be moistened.
• Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, gently and quickly knead the dough into a ball (sprinkle more flour if needed as you're kneading). It doesn't have to be smooth. Rough and shaggy is good.
• Pat into a 6″ circle and cut into 8 or 10 wedges and place 2″ apart onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Chill uncovered in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400F.
• Brush the tops of the scones with more buttermilk and bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before glazing.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients, adding in 1 tablespoon of cream or milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over scones.

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. To make the scones, put the flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix together to combine. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (don't rub too thoroughly; some larger lumps are preferable). Add the blueberries and toss together.
• In a small jug, mix together the cream, vanilla and eggs, and pour into the mixture. Use a cutlery knife to stir together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Tip onto the work surface and use your hands to gently knead until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your work surface and flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut it into eight triangles.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray. Beat the remaining egg, then lightly brush it over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins or until deep golden brown. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

WORLD'S BEST SCONES! FROM SCOTLAND TO THE SAVOY TO THE U.S.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the currants. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the dough results in terrible scones!
• With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are golden brown, not deep brown. Break each scone apart, or slice in half. Serve with butter or clotted cream and a selection of jams - or even plain.
