Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a food processor, add flour and butter.  Pulse 8-10 times or until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
3. Add the baking powder, sugar, and salt.  Pulse again.
4. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the cream.  Mix until the flour mixture is wet.  Don't over-mix.  Add the blueberries and the lemon zest. and fold in with a rubber spatula.  (try not to mash the blueberries)
5. Spray a 9-10" round cake pan with non-stick spray. Pat the scone dough into the bottom of the cake pan.
6. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and turn the scone onto it.  Use a knife to slice into (8) even, pie-shaped scones.
7. Separate the scones a little on the baking sheet.  Brush the scones with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
8. Bake at 425 for 15-18 min or until golden brown.

For the Lemon Glaze:

1. While the einkorn scones are baking, in a small mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Mix.  Add up to 1 more tablespoon of lemon juice to reach the desired consistency. ( you should be able to drizzle the glaze)
2.  When the scones are finished baking, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes.  Drizzle the hot scones with the lemon glaze. Enjoy warm or cold!

These einkorn scones are the perfect treat to serve at a bridal or baby shower or any 'ol day of the week.  They only take a few minutes to whip up and they're delicious every time. The all-purpose einkorn flour is perfect for these cream scones.  The scones come out tender and sweet and the combination of lemon and blueberry in these cream scones-- is off the charts amazing!   Scones bake much better when they are an even thickness.  Pat your scone dough into a circle cake pan to ensure you have a consistent thickness.  Turn the scone dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper before you cut it into wedges.   Tips for Making Einkorn Scones:

• Use cold butter
• You can add double the amount of lemon zest.  I love mine with a robust lemon flavor!
• Bake the scones on parchment paper.  This will keep it from sticking to the pan and makes clean up a breeze.
• Pat the scone dough in a greased circle cake pan.  Turn the pan onto parchment paper before cutting. (This ensures the scones are a consistent thickness and cooks evenly)
• Pull the scone dough wedges apart from each other before cooking (The scone dough will rise and spread a little while baking
• Bake just until golden
• Let the scones cool about 5 minutes before you add the glaze.
