So, I mentioned my love affair with breakfast before, right? I mean, sometimes I'll eat breakfast foods unitl 11pm just because they're so delicious. I also have a -thing- for scones because they are the perfect breakfast hand food that I can munch on everywhere. These lemon blueberry scones are one of my favorites. It is not like your traditional scone as these are a little more moist(I don't know if you can tell, but I love the cakes and sweet breads to be on the moist side), and there is a sweet, crunchy, golden brown streusel topping.

These scones are filled to the max with fresh blueberries that burst with flavor in every bite. The flavor is brightened and intensified with a hint of lemon and  finished with the deliciously crunchy streusel topping.  This is so delicious, I swear you will be tempted to eat a whole batch on your own. Go on, I won't tell anyone.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine your flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
  • Cut in the butter using your hands or pastry cutter until the flour resembles large crumbs.
  • Mix the lemon zest, juice, heavy cream and eggs in a small bowl and whisk together.
  • Dig a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture. Use a fork to combine. Once a dough forms, use your hands to full incorporate the egg mixture into the dough. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Place the dough on the parchment paper and form into a square that is about 1" thick. Cut into 8 pieces and separate each slice so they are not quite touching.
  • Make the streusel topping by combining all the ingredients together and using a fork to mix well until large crumbs form. Cover the scones with the streusel topping and bake for about 20 minutes or until a light golden brown.
  • Transfer the finished scones to a wire rack to cool and enjoy.
