When is the perfect time to make Blueberry & Lemon-Thyme Scones? I say the perfect time is when you’re stuck indoors due to snowy and cold weather, or when you have sunny skies, mild weather, and fresh lemons to put to use. Basically, any time is a good time to make these baked goodies!

Ingredients

    For the scones3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra to dust the work surface
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cut into pieces
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup dried blueberries
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the wet mixture
    • For the glaze2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

    For the sconesPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  1. Combine the flour, sugar, thyme, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. In a separate bowl, add the egg and cream and whisk until combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender to incorporate it, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the egg mixture, the lemon juice, and lemon peel to the flour mixture. Stir until combined. Fold in the blueberries and mix to incorporate. The mixture will be crumbly but moist.
  5. Lightly flour a clean, flat work surface. Transfer the mixture to the work surface. Use your hands to bring the mixture together. Form a 8-inch circle with the dough, about 1-1/2-inches thick.
  6. Use a sharp knife and cut the circle into 8 triangles. Use a spatula to carefully transfer the pieces to the baking sheet. Make sure they do not touch.
  7. Brush the tops with the reserved egg and cream mixture.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to sit until almost completely cool.
  9. Drizzle with the glaze and serve.
    10. For the glazeCombine the confectioners’ sugar and the lemon juice. Mix until smooth. Add more confectioners’ sugar to make a thicker glaze, or more lemon juice for a thinner glass.

Notes

These scones are easy to make and what a treat they are, any time of year!

      Hi January! Thanks so much! I think these would be good to freeze: just make sure they're snug and protected :)

    I adore making scones and a lemon + blueberry + coconut variety is my favorite. Never thought to use thyme! Definitely going to give that a try next time. Gorgeous photos, by the way!

    I think I have everything for this recipe and hope to try it soon! I love the combination of thyme and lemon. I wonder if using frozen blueberries would work in this recipe?

      Hi Emily - thanks! I'm sure frozen blueberries would work. I'm betting that the scones will be a little more moist with them. I read to rinse frozen blueberries then pat them dry with paper towel before adding them to the batter.

    I never really ate scones until I did my Whole30 two years ago and gave up sugar. I was always a biscuit and jelly fan. Now I crave things with more texture and less sugar but great flavors. These scones are perfect with the thyme! I know that when I finish this cycle I am making a few of these!

    I absolutely LOVE scones! I usually buy them at Whole Foods, but I'd like to start baking them from scratch again. I just pinned your Blueberry & Lemon Scones recipe to Pinterest so I'll have it for later. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. :-)

    Wow! Made these with lemon thyme fresh from my herb garden, and a combination of fresh and dried blueberries. I also added about an additional tablespoon of thyme and lemon zest to the reserved egg and cream as a topper. For a final twist (I’m not a big fan of powdered sugar icings), I just brushed a mix of lemon juice and sugar on the top of each scone, and then sprinkled them with a little sugar. Just ate one, they are to die for! Wish I could send you a picture of how pretty they looked. Thanks for an amazing recipe! This ones a keeper that I’m sure I’ll be making again!
