300x600
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, VERY cold and cut into tiny pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup (Whole Milk) Ricotta Cheese
- 3 tablespoons Whole Milk
- 8 ounces blueberries, fresh or frozen (If using frozen, do not thaw first)
- For the egg wash:
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon milk or water
- 2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling
- For the (optional) lemon glaze:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and lemon zest.
- Cut the butter into small cubes then quickly work it into the mixture (using your fingers) until lit resembles a coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, ricotta cheese, and milk, then add to flour and butter mixture. Use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
- Add in the blueberries and gently fold them into dough with a spatula - don’t worry if some of the berries break up a bit.
- Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, floured work surface and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer to the prepared sheet.
- Lightly brush each scones with the egg wash, then sprinkle the top of each scone with sugar.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Cool for about 10 minutes, then make your glaze.
