Method
Make it happen
- 01
Heat oven to 200°C fan and line a large tray. Mix flour, baking powder and the sugar in a bowl. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- 02
Fold in blueberries and lemon zest, using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- 03
Add the buttermilk and mix just until a soft dough forms; do not overwork it.
- 04
Pat out to about 2.5 cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out 8 scones with a floured cutter, pressing straight down; gather scraps gently.
- 05
Brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 14–17 minutes until risen, golden and cooked through. Cool briefly on a rack.
