Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Huckleberry Lemon Scones.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (205°C) and greasing a baking sheet to ensure your scones don’t stick. This is the first step to scone perfection!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. This dry mixture is the foundation of your scones, so make sure it’s well combined.
Step 3
Next, take your cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles a crumbly texture. Add in the lemon juice for a zesty kick and mix it in evenly.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and half-and-half cream. Then, stir in the 3/4 teaspoon of lemon zest. This mixture will add moisture and flavor to your dough, so don’t skip it!
Step 5
Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want a soft dough that holds together. Now, it’s time to add the star of the show—fold in those fresh huckleberries with care, so they don’t burst!
Step 6
Divide your dough in half and place each half on a floured surface. Shape them into balls and then flatten them slightly. Cut each round into six wedges, like a pizza, and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake your scones in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly. The anticipation is half the fun!
Step 8
While the scones are baking, prepare a simple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. This will add a sweet and tangy finish to your scones.
Step 9
Once the scones are out of the oven and cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top. For a final touch, sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy your delightful huckleberry lemon scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
