Lemon Blueberry Scones
These scones are flaky, flavorful, easy to make, and delicious! You will love the zesty and flakey dough. The tasty burst of sweet blueberries complement the scone dough. Don't forget the tasty and sweet glaze that should top off every scone! These scones are definitely better than bakery scones! I hope you enjoy this new and improved scone recipe!

- Begin by prepping a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined. Add in your cold butter and zest, and use your fingers to rub the butterand zest into the flour. It should form a course powder with very few pea sized lumps.

- After refridgerating, you should brush the scones with milk, and sprinkle them with course sugar. (optional)
