Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 6 ounces blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Add the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and sugar to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade. Pulse to combine.
  • Dice the butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Process until the butter is worked into the dough leaving small pea sized clumps of butter thoughout.
  • Remove the mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream. Add the the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  • Flour your hands and a work surface. Pat the dough out into a circle on the floured surface to make a 6 inch diameter circle. Cut into 8 equal sized wedges.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool.
  • While the scones are cooling, add the blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to a small sauce pan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, using a fork to smash the berries and release the juice.
  • Pour berries into a sieve over a small bowl. Press the berries to release the juice.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar into the berry juice until thick and creamy.
  • Dip the tops of the scones into the glaze and let sit 5 minutes to harden. Dip a second time for a sweeter amd thicker topping.
